1963 Map of Beach

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Pocahontas State Park and adjacent Pocahontas State Forest dominate this Chesterfield County landscape, which was updated in 1980 to reflect changes in woodland and development since the early 1960s. The area maintains a rural, forested character defined by drainage systems like First Branch, Second Branch, and Swift Creek, which feeds into the larger Lake Dale and Crostick Millpond. For genealogists and local historians, the map is a dense source of community landmarks, including the namesake settlement of Beach and the small crossroads of Rita. Significant family and congregational sites are scattered throughout, such as the Mt Gilead Ch and Mt Gilead Cem, alongside several educational landmarks like the Union Branch Sch and Union Grove Sch. The southern boundary is marked by the winding path of the Appomattox River, delineating the border between Chesterfield and Dinwiddie counties.
