About this map

The South Anna River and the Newfound River carve through this central Virginia landscape where Louisa, Hanover, and Goochland counties converge. Small settlements like Dabneys and Holly Grove are connected by a network of rural routes, including Bethany Church Rd and Turners Mill Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and milling roots. Historical water management is evident at Sheltons Millpond, while modern aviation is represented by the Holly Springs Airport near the center of the quadrangle.

Several smaller hamlets, such as Willowbrook, Shelfar, and Dongola, dot the wooded terrain, often centered around crossings of waterways like Owens Creek and Leatherwood Cr. The map details many family-named landmarks and roads, including Johnsons Mill Farm and Dickey Purcell Rd, which offer valuable geographic context for those researching local family histories and early land divisions in this part of the Piedmont.
