This original vintage map features Mason Neck (Map 57), printed in 1966 as part of a comprehensive regional planning study of the Potomac Valley, highlighting the area’s natural landscapes and recreational potential.
This map focuses on the Mason Neck peninsula along the Potomac River, encompassing parts of Fairfax County, Virginia and Charles County, Maryland. The area includes notable locations such as Pohick Bay, Gunston Hall, Piscataway, Woodland, and Mount Vernon.
The map illustrates a richly detailed riverfront landscape of inlets, marshes, forested ridges, and historic sites. Prominent features include Pohick Bay Regional Park, Gunston Hall (the historic home of George Mason), and expansive shoreline areas identified for conservation and recreation.
Highlighted throughout are proposed and existing recreation areas, with suggested uses such as picnicking, camping, hiking, fishing, boating, sightseeing, and nature study. The map emphasizes both the ecological importance of the Mason Neck region and its historical significance within the early American landscape.
The design reflects mid-century planning priorities, balancing preservation of natural habitats with increased public access and outdoor recreation opportunities along the Potomac River.
This map is part of a larger Potomac Valley planning series and showcases the distinctive graphic style of 1960s cartography—combining detailed topography, muted earth tones, and annotated recreational zones.
This is an authentic vintage 1966 printing and not a reproduction. It retains its original character with light, age-appropriate wear.
