1952 Map of Hopewell

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Hopewell industrial waterfront and the sprawling Fort Lee military installation anchor this mid-century survey of the confluence of the James River and Appomattox River. The landscape reflects a dense layering of Virginia history, where the ancient Bermuda Hundred and the historic estate at Shirley sit near modern logistics, such as the Oil Terminal and the Seaboard Air Line railroad. The map records the complex river geography of the era, including the Turkey Island Cutoff and several river islands like Farrar Island and Eppes Island.
