About this map

Cartersville sits prominently along the James River, serving as a focal point for this 2010 survey of the Goochland and Cumberland county borderlands. The landscape is defined by the winding river and its significant landforms, such as the large Elk Island and Bolling Island. Rural industry and local history are marked by sites like Muddy Creek Mills and the Harrison Cemetery, while smaller settlements such as Pemberton, Tamworth, and Hamilton dot the terrain south of the river.

Water management is evident through a series of local impoundments including Picketts Creek Reservoir and Queensmeer Lake, each with their respective dams. The map also captures specialized transport and social markers, from Stokes Airport to established local crossroads like Georges Tavern and Fife. This area reflects a quiet, dispersed settlement pattern where creek-side mills and family-named roads like Hadensville Fife Rd and Bedford H.S. connect agricultural life across the central Virginia countryside.
