About this map

The South Anna River defines the northern reaches of this landscape where Hanover, Henrico, and Goochland counties meet. By the mid-2010s, the area reflects a significant transition from the rural character of northern settlements like Casco and Rockville to the expanding suburban developments of Short Pump and Tuckahoe in the south. The map captures the infrastructure supporting this growth, from the established airfield at Sabot Airport to the newer residential footprints of Wyndham and Hickory Haven.

Transport corridors like Rockville Rd and Broad Street link historic hubs like Johnsons Springs and Centerville. Natural features remain central to the region's identity, including Broad Branch Lake, Big Swamp, and Dover Lake. Local industrial and agricultural history is preserved in names like Auburn Mill Rd and Howards Mill Rd, tracing the legacy of water-powered milling along the river and its tributaries.
