1969 Map of Dutch Gap

About this map

Curles Neck and the surrounding loops of the James River dominate this 1969 topographic record, showcasing a landscape deeply marked by both colonial history and mid-century industrial utility. Extensive breastworks and earthworks from Civil War engagements are noted throughout the terrain, particularly near Fort Harrison and Fort Brady within the Richmond National Battlefield Park. The map captures the scale of the Curles Neck Plantation and its historic riverfront, including Tilmans Wharf and the Curles Neck Mansion.
