About this map

The James River defines the southern sweep of this Central Virginia landscape, carving a wide valley that separates Goochland and Powhatan counties. At the heart of the region, the Goochland County Courthouse serves as a historic civic anchor, surrounded by a network of rural routes such as Sandy Hook Road and River Road West. The terrain is characterized by numerous watercourses, including the curiously named Big Lickinghole Creek and Little Lickinghole Creek, which feed into the main river channel.

Transportation patterns are dominated by the CSX Transportation rail line that follows the northern riverbank, connecting riverfront settlements like Maidens, Irwin, and Cedar Point. To the west, the landscape opens into areas like Three Square and Bolling Hall Lake, while private aviation is represented by the Rose Retreat Farm Airport to the northeast. This map illustrates the intersection of traditional Piedmont agriculture and river-based infrastructure near the Michaux Bridge.
