About this map

The S Anna River and its numerous tributaries, including Bowlers Mill Run, define this region of central Virginia where the Albemarle and Louisa county line bisects the landscape. The map reveals a pattern of dispersed rural settlements such as Waldrop, Thelma, and Poindexter, often centered around road intersections and water sources. The area is marked by several private family landmarks and historical points of interest, including the Alberts Family Cem and Watson Cem, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing local families.

Water management and recreation are evident through the presence of several significant impoundments like Nininger Lake, Purcell Lake, and Hawkwood Lake. The local infrastructure is anchored by prominent routes like Gordonsville Rd and S Spotswood Trl, which connect these small communities. The historic Green Springs church stands as a notable landmark within this well-watered terrain of creeks and ridges, including Meltons Hill near the northern boundary.
