About this map

Rockville and Centerville anchor this part of Hanover County during a period of suburban expansion north of Richmond. The landscape is defined by the drainage of the South Anna River in the north and the sprawling network of Tuckahoe Creek to the south. Numerous small residential developments, such as Hermitage Hamlet, Nelwood Estates, and Woods Acres, illustrate the transition from traditional rural farmland to contemporary residential communities. Water management is evident through several named structures like Cochran Dam and Broad Branch Dam, which regulate local waterways. Aviation history is represented by the Rockville Airport and Sabot Airport, while the legacy of established families and settlements persists through names like Johnsons Springs and Few Acres Farm. This record of the early 21st century highlights a region balancing its agricultural roots with the increasing demands of regional growth and infrastructure.
