2016 Map of Boswells Tavern

About this map

Boswells Tavern stands as a focal point at the junction of the S Anna River and the rural road network of Louisa County and Albemarle County. This landscape is characterized by a series of small, scattered settlements including Waldrop, Lindsay, and Thelma, many of which developed around the local water systems and agricultural lands. The hydrology of the area is particularly complex, with features like Lake Gordonsville, Nininger Lake, and Hawkwood Lake dotting the terrain alongside numerous runs and creeks such as Bowlers Mill Run and Bunch Creek. Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest like the Watson Cemetery near Green Springs. The map reveals an area defined by long-standing property divisions and farm roads, including Meadows Farm and Bracketts Farm Road, reflecting a persistence of rural Virginia land use into the early twenty-first century.
