The James River carves a deep horseshoe bend through the heart of the Piedmont, serving as the physical and economic divide between Goochland County and Powhatan County. Along its northern bank, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor anchors small riverside communities like Maidens and Irwin, while the county seat at Goochland sits elevated above the floodplains. This 1943 survey captures the landscape of the Virginia interior during a period of institutional expansion, clearly marking the Virginia Industrial Farm for Women and the Virginia Industrial School for Boys on opposite sides of the river.
