About this map

The Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County Battlefields Memorial National Military Park occupies the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking the significant Civil War history of the region. This rural portion of Spotsylvania County is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and small crossroads settlements that survived into the twenty-first century. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific burial sites, including the Turnley - Duerson Family Cem, Gordon - Herndon Cem, and the Turnley Burying Ground.

The hydrography of the area is equally prominent, with the Po River, Ta River, and Bluff Run carving through the terrain. These waterways once anchored the local economy, as evidenced by scattered historical landmarks like Todds Tavern and Brokenburg. Smaller communities such as Post Oak and Lanes Corner serve as anchors for the local road network, which includes long-established routes like Courthouse Rd and Co Rd 606.
