1969 Map of Beaverdam

About this map

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor anchors this survey, connecting rural communities like Bumpass and Beaverdam across the Virginia Piedmont. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little River and the North Anna River, which forms the boundary between Spotsylvania and Caroline counties. Settled agricultural patterns are evident in the numerous small family burial grounds and country churches, including St Thomas Ch and Rouzie Chapel. Local industry and rural infrastructure are represented by Fleming Millpond and Fulcher Millpond, alongside small-scale commerce at Terrell Store. This era shows a transition from traditional land use to early modern development, noted by the presence of a Landing Strip near the Louisa and Hanover county line, while evocative place names like Old Bandana persist in the local geography.
