About this map

The James River forms the southern boundary of this Piedmont landscape, defining a region where historic agriculture and river transport once dictated the pace of life. Near the southern bank, Hattons Ferry remains a rare touchpoint for traditional river crossings, while the village of Hatton and nearby Hatton Grange Farm reflect the deep-rooted agricultural heritage of the area. Moving inland, the terrain is marked by Green Mountain and the Totier Hills, providing a backdrop for established estates and named rural tracts like Nydrie Farms and Old Woodville.

Water management and local industry are evident through features like the Totier Creek Reservoir and the site of Dawson Mill on Ballinger Creek. The settlement pattern is scattered across small communities such as Esmont, Keene, and Porters, connected by historic routes like Plank Road. From the river islands like Goosby Island to the small-town streets of Scottsville in the east, the map captures a rural Virginia corridor balancing its colonial-era roots with modern landmarks like Grayson Airport.
