1943 Map of Hewlett

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The North Anna River snakes through this rural Virginia landscape, defining the administrative boundary between Caroline County and Hanover County during the 1940s. The region is characterized by a series of small, dispersed crossroads settlements including Chilesburg, Holliday, and Verdon, many of which were serviced by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line cutting diagonally across the quadrangle. Local civic life is anchored by landmarks such as Mt Hewlett Sch and nearby houses of worship like Mt Salem Ch and Elon Ch. This topography, mapped from 1942 aerial photography, reveals a traditional Southern land use pattern where farms and wooded ridges like Pine Hook Ridge are interspersed with tributary streams such as Beaverdam Creek and Stevens Mill Run, illustrating the quiet agrarian character of the area before modern development changed the local footprint.
