About this map

The North Anna River defines the border between Caroline and Hanover counties during the early 1940s, a period when this rural landscape relied heavily on its rail corridors and river crossings. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts a diagonal path through the terrain, serving small rural stations and communities like Hewlett, Noel, and North Anna. This era's economic life is visible in the presence of local industry and infrastructure, from the Sawmill at Cedar Fork to the Ottley Mill on the Little River. Social life centered on institutions such as the Mt Hewlett School and Mt Salem Church, while the network of unpaved roads connected specialized agricultural hubs like Chilesburg and Houstons Corner. Important river crossings including Butlers Bridge and Landora Bridge provided the necessary links for local commerce before modern highway development reshaped the region.
