About this map

The South Anna River flows across the northern edge of this landscape where the boundaries of Hanover, Goochland, and Henrico counties meet. Rural life in the early 1960s is centered around small crossroads communities like Rockville, Johnsons Springs, and Hylas. The map reveals a high density of country churches, including Berea Ch, Goochland Ch, and St Matthews Ch, alongside local landmarks such as the Rockville Sch.

Industry and recreation are visible in the form of a Quarry near the eastern boundary and the Deep Run Hunt Club situated near the headwaters of Little Tuckahoe Creek. A notable infrastructure corridor marked by a Pipeline cuts through the center of the region, passing just south of Centerville. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems including Shop Creek, Goldmine Creek, and the headwaters of Tuckahoe Creek, which illustrate the complex topography of the Virginia Piedmont during this era.
