About this map

Fredericks Hall and Buckner anchor the landscape along the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, marking a rural Virginia community defined by its watercourses and country churches. The terrain is bisected by the Little River, which feeds into the Swift Millpond and Bearden Pond. Notable for genealogists are the numerous rural congregations, including Bethpage Ch, Little River Ch, and Rising Sun Ch, each with nearby burial grounds.

Modern infrastructure begins to overlay the traditional settlement patterns, evidenced by a Pipeline cutting across the eastern landscape and the emergence of Lake Anna in the north. The area around Mt Garland and Gardners Crossroads maintains its agricultural character, while a Landing Strip near the railroad indicates a shift toward private aviation during the late 1960s. The survey also captures smaller crossroads like Threemile Corner and features such as Spiers Lake and Millpond.
