About this map

James River bends sharply through the heart of this Virginia landscape, serving as the historical dividing line between Goochland, Cumberland, and Powhatan counties. The river valley is punctuated by significant landforms such as Elk Island and Bolling Island, while the surrounding terrain rises toward Tamworth Bluff. The settlement pattern reflects the area's rural roots, with established communities like Cartersville and Tamworth positioned near the water, while upland hamlets such as Georges Tavern and Fife serve the interior.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through the documentation of the Cartersville Cem and various family-named roads like Hadensville-Fife Rd and Danieltown Rd. Small water bodies, including Queensmeer Lake and Picketts Cr Reservoir, interrupt the network of creeks like Byrd Creek and Muddy Creek, illustrating the complex drainage and agricultural heritage of these three bordering counties.
