2022 Map of Beaverdam

About this map

Beaverdam serves as the focal point for this landscape where the boundaries of Hanover, Louisa, Caroline, and Spotsylvania counties converge. The modern CSX rail line traces a historic transit path through the region, connecting rural crossroads like Tylers and Green Bay with larger regional networks. Significant water features define the local geography, from the expansive Lake Anna in the northwest to the winding courses of the Little River and North Anna River. This area is characterized by a mix of traditional settlement names like Old Bandana and Terrell Store alongside 21st-century infrastructure such as the Lake Anna Airport. The abundance of swampy lowlands, including Pug Swamp and Jones Swamp, illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have historically influenced road placement and land use across this part of central Virginia.
