1963 Map of Hylas

About this map

Rockville and the surrounding rural landscape of Goochland and Hanover Counties are captured during a period of infrastructure expansion in the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by the South Anna River to the north and the expansive Big Swamp to the south, with the Tuckahoe Creek drainage system carving through the center. This survey documents the early footprint of Interstate 64, including Interchange 33, which began to alter the traditional character of settlements like Johnsons Springs and Centerville. Local life is anchored by community landmarks such as the Rockville Sch, St Matthews Ch (Dry), and the Deep Run Hunt Club. The map also details the industrial and utility corridors of the era, from a local Quarry to the prominent Pipeline and Radio Tower installations that cross the wooded ridges and creek bottoms.
