About this map

Rockville serves as a focal point in this landscape where the boundaries of Hanover, Goochland, and Henrico counties meet. During the early 1960s, the area retained a distinctly rural character defined by small crossroads settlements and community institutions such as Rockville Sch and Berea Ch. The terrain is carved by numerous watercourses, including the South Anna River in the north and the extensive reach of Tuckahoe Creek, which flows through the eastern portion of the quadrangle.

Evidence of local social life is found in landmarks like the Deep Run Hunt Club near Mt Olive Ch. Transportation routes like Kain Road and Pouncey Tract Road link these disparate rural clusters, while the presence of a Fire Station at Centerville and a Radio Tower near Johnsons Springs indicates the infrastructure of the era. The mapping includes numerous unnamed family cemeteries, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing local residents.
