1966 Map of Guinea

About this map

The Jackson Shrine stands as a significant historical marker near the settlement of Guinea, a community defined by its position along the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad. This region south of Fredericksburg is a landscape of rural junctions and spiritual centers, where numerous congregations such as Forest Hill Ch, Second New Hope Ch, and Macedonia Ch serve local families. The map illustrates a transitional period in the 1960s and 70s, as traditional landmarks like Hamilton Crossing and Massaponax persist alongside modern infrastructure. To the east, the A. P. Hill military reservation and the winding Rappahannock River form natural and jurisdictional boundaries, while smaller waterways like the Po River and Poni River drain the wooded interior. Industrial activity is evident in the numerous Gravel Pits scattered near New Post, highlighting the area's geological utility.
