2010 Map of Hopewell

About this map

The Appomattox River and James River converge at City Point in this 2010 survey of Hopewell, Virginia. This landscape is defined by its strategic peninsulas and islands, including Presque Isle, Turkey Island, and Farrar Island. The transition from rural history to modern industrial infrastructure is evident, with traditional sites like Shirley and Walthall Mill situated near the Hopewell Regional Waste Water Treatment Facility. Residential expansion is visible through established neighborhoods such as Highland Park, Arlington, and Five Forks. Genealogy and local history researchers can identify numerous historic burial grounds, from the City Point National Cemetery and Appomattox Cemetery to the smaller Vaughan-Eyler Family Cemetery. The map also captures the legacy of the local economy through labels for Manchester Mill and the expansive Bermuda Golf Course, illustrating the evolving land use of these historic tidewater necks.
