About this map

The South Anna River and its numerous tributaries, including Newfound River and Cedar Creek, define the topography of this Hanover County landscape. In the late 1960s, the region retained a predominantly rural character, marked by small settlements like Scotchtown and the namesake Hanover Academy. The area is notably dense with community landmarks, including several churches such as Fork Ch and Ebenezer Ch, alongside the Yates Memorial Tabernacle.

Infrastructure in this era is characterized by local crossings like Blunts Bridge and Ground Squirrel Bridge, which facilitated movement across the winding river system. To the north, the Little River cuts through the terrain near Oliver, while the presence of the Janeway Airstrip and a Lookout Tower near Negro Foot provide evidence of modern utility amidst the established agricultural and residential patterns of central Virginia.
