Battlefield today

The site of the battle, once rural farmland, is now surrounded by suburban development in Fairfax County. The intersection of the modern thoroughfares of Route 50 (also known as Lee-Jackson Memorial Highway) and State Route 7100 (also known as Fairfax County Parkway) intersect near the location of the battle. A 4.8 acre (19,000 m²) memorial park, the Ox Hill Battlefield Park, lies adjacent to the Fairfax Town Center shopping area, and includes the site of the battle. The park is under the jurisdiction of the Fairfax County Park Authority; in January, 2005, the Authority approved a General Management Plan and Conceptual Development Plan that sets forth a detailed history and future management framework for the site.
