Subsequent Zoning Ordinance amendments established Historic Overlay Districts that provide regulations over and above the regular zoning protection for such areas. To administer the provisions, the County created a local Architectural Review Board (ARB). The ARB is responsible for the public interest(s) as embodied in the Historic Overlay District Ordinance. Its job is to protect and enhance the resources that give a district its historic, architectural, or archaeological significance. planning reports prepared for the Bull Run Stone Bridge, Centreville, Huntly, Lake Anne Village Center, Langley Fork, and Mount Air Historic Overlay Districts. <a href="www.fairfaxcounty.gov/histcomm/">Fairfax County History Commission:</a> The Fairfax County History Commission was established by the County of Fairfax in 1969.

Arnold published a topographical map of the District of Columbia. Reproducing the original Peter L’Enfant 1792 map, Arnold also included the city of Alexandria, which had been ceded back to Virginia in 1846. All railroad lines and regional roads entering the city are shown. Arnold listed the populations of Washington, Georgetown, and Alexandria by decade from 1800-1860, breaking down the population by race into "white," "free colored," and "slave." To Union military authorities, the Arnold Map was important for three reasons: it showed the topography of the area, all the roads leading into the city, and the location of the then 5 1 forts protecting the city. However, Arnold published without the knowledge or consent of the government. The War Department seized most copies and the copper plate to prevent the vital military intelligence from reaching Confederate forces. In compensation, Arnold received $8,000 for his loss by the U.S. government.
