2016 Map of Beaverdam

About this map

Beaverdam and the surrounding rural communities of Louisa Co and Hanover Co are defined by a complex network of creeks and tributaries feeding into the Little River and the North Anna River. In this 2016 landscape, the large expanse of Lake Anna dominates the northwestern corner, supporting local infrastructure like the Lake Anna Airport near Bumpass. The map reveals a transition from these modern water-based features to older, inland crossroads and community centers such as Old Bandana, Terrell Store, and Tylers. Numerous millponds, including Fleming Millpond and Fulcher Millpond, suggest a legacy of water-powered industry that once supported these farming districts. The terrain is crisscrossed by family-named roads and rural connectors, linking isolated settlements like Green Bay and Teman across the wooded divides of Pug Swamp and Jones Swamp.
