1892 Map of Appomattox

About this map

Appomattox Court House National Historical Monument anchors this late 19th-century survey of Central Virginia, a region defined by its role in the final days of the Civil War. The landscape is heavily dissected by the headwaters of the James River to the north and the Roanoke River to the south. At the time of this reconnaissance survey by A. E. Murlin and Chas. E. Cooke, the area was a network of small agricultural hubs like Red House, Evergreen, and Madisonville, connected by the Norfolk and Western Railroad.
