1978 Map of Claremont
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Claremont sits at a strategic bend in the James River, as documented in this 1978 orthophotograph produced by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Soil Conservation Service. The landscape reveals a distinct pattern of historical riverfront estates and agricultural clearings, notably at Claremont Manor and across the water at Tettingon. The confluence of the Chickahominy River and the James dominates the northeastern portion of the sheet, while the inland terrain to the south transitions into the dense, shaded drainage of Cypress Swamp. This aerial perspective provides a literal view of the timbered reaches and cultivated fields along the Upper Chippokes Creek, illustrating the land-use patterns of Surry and Charles City counties during the late 1970s.
