1994 Map of Hylas

About this map

Rockville and Hylas sit at the northern edge of this Piedmont landscape, which is defined by the convergence of the Hanover and Goochland county lines. The terrain is deeply incised by a dense network of waterways, including Shop Creek, Goldmine Creek, and Little Tuckahoe Creek, all feeding into the larger drainage systems of the South Anna River and Tuckahoe Creek. In the mid-1990s, this area reflects a rural character punctuated by established crossroads like Johnsons Spring and Centerville. Dozens of small family or community cemeteries, marked simply as Cem, are scattered across the ridges, providing a clear map for genealogists tracing ancestral landholdings. Industrial and modern infrastructure, such as a large Quarry near the eastern boundary and a Pipeline corridor crossing the southern reaches, indicate the ongoing development of the region's natural resources and utility networks.
