About this map

Rockville and the neighboring community of Hylas sit at the northern edge of this Piedmont landscape, where the South Anna River winds along the Goochland and Hanover county line. The map reveals a transition from the rolling woodlands and rural estates of the north to the suburbanizing corridors of Centerville and Hickory Haven in the south. Transportation patterns define the area, from the historic winding curves of Pouncey Tract Rd and Dogwood Trail Rd to the modern bypasses that now intersect the countryside.

Local landmarks such as Sabot Airport and the waters of Broad Br Lake are preserved alongside numerous small waterways like Goldmine Cr and Tuckahoe Cr. For the local historian, the map meticulously documents dozens of named residential lanes, such as Harris Town Ln and William Harris Ln, providing a clear record of local property development and neighborhood expansion in this part of central Virginia.
