About this map

The James River defines the central character of this 2013 survey, winding through the Virginia landscape and separating the community of Cartersville from Pemberton. Large river features like Elk Island and Bolling Island emphasize the historical importance of the waterway for local commerce and geography. Evidence of earlier industry persists at Muddy Creek Mills near Tamworth, illustrating the region's long-standing reliance on local waterpower and milling.

Transportation corridors move through the terrain via several local landmarks, including the northern crossing at Georges Tavern and the residential layout of Dogwood Acres. The presence of Stokes Airport and reservoirs such as Picketts Creek Reservoir and Queensmeer Lake indicate a shift toward modern infrastructure and utility. Small hamlets like Fife and Hamilton anchor the rural roads, while the confluence of the Willis River and Byrd Cr with the James showcases the intricate drainage system of this Goochland and Cumberland county border region.
