1894 Map of Fredericksburg

About this map

The Rappahannock River and Potomac River define the tidewater landscape of this late nineteenth-century survey, which details a region heavily reliant on riverine transport and rural commerce. Along the banks of the Rappahannock, historical centers like Port Royal and Port Conway face one another, while further downstream, Saunders Wharf and Leedstown mark critical shipping points for the local agricultural economy. The inland terrain is dotted with small crossroads and landmarks such as the Rappahannock Academy, Grace Church, and local gathering spots like Nindes Store.
