About this map

The Appomattox and James River confluence anchors this geographic record, documenting the historic port of City Point and the surrounding Hopewell area. The landscape is a complex network of river bends and tidal features, including the Jones Neck Cutoff and Turkey Island Cutoff, which have reshaped the path of these vital waterways. Civil War history is deeply etched into the terrain at the Petersburg National Battlefield and the City Point National Cemetery.

Suburban growth and military installations like Fort Lee are contrasted by the preserved wetlands of the Presquile National Wildlife Refuge and the riverside estate at Shirley. Smaller neighborhood identities such as Screamersville, Enon, and Kenwood are mapped alongside family markers like the Vaughan-Eyler Family Cem, providing a detailed look at the modern layout of these centuries-old Virginia settlements.
