1969 Map of Beaverdam

About this map

The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor serves as the central spine of this rural landscape, connecting small crossroads and farming hubs like Beaverdam and Bumpass. The terrain is defined by the meandering North Anna River and the Little River, which weave through heavily wooded creek basins including Hollowing Creek and Roan Horse Creek. A significant landscape change is visible at the edge of the sheet where Lake Anna begins to take shape, marking the transition from riverine valley to reservoir. Evidence of long-standing community life is found at Beaverdam Sch, Rouzie Chapel, and St Thomas Ch, alongside numerous small family cemeteries. Local industry and water management are represented by Fleming Millpond and Fulcher Millpond, while the presence of a Landing Strip near Greenes Corner reflects the modernization of transportation alongside the older rail and river networks.
