1944 Map of Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Swift Creek Recreational Demonstration Area dominates the northern half of this landscape, a significant public works and conservation project that includes the presence of a CCC Camp and Camp Baker. This mid-century survey reflects the transitional character of Chesterfield County, where established farming communities and rural institutions sit alongside developing recreational lands. A dense network of local landmarks provides a clear look at 1940s community life, with several churches and schools such as Mt Gilead Church, Lees Chapel, and Union Branch School serving as the social anchors for residents near the village of Beach. To the south, the terrain slopes toward the Appomattox River, which forms the border with Dinwiddie County. The landscape is carved by numerous watercourses, including First Branch, Second Branch, and Third Branch, which feed into the larger creek systems and support landmarks like Crostick Pond and Lake Margaret.
