There are plenty of places around the county, especially around streams, that have never been plowed or leveled in any way. At those locations, the age of the trees is dependent on their lifespan and whether or not lightning will pwn them.

Yes, King George gave the Potomac River to Maryland.
And I believe the highest pint in Fairfax County if not the highest building - is the Tysons Ritz Carlton Hotel.
