1943 Map of Goodes Bridge

About this map

The Appomattox River carves a winding boundary between Chesterfield and Amelia counties, serving as the central geographic feature of this mid-century rural landscape. Small hubs of activity are centered around the crossing at Goodes Bridge and the community of Mannboro to the south. The area is defined by a dense network of tributaries including Sappony Creek, Deep Creek, and Sweathouse Creek, which drain the timbered and agricultural uplands.
