1973 Map of Lake Anna West

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The North Anna River corridor underwent a massive transformation in the early 1970s, as shown by the emergence of Lake Anna behind the newly constructed dam. This survey documents the landscape just as the waters reached their operating elevation of 250 feet, flooding old stream valleys like Sturgeon Creek and Contrary Creek. The industrialization of the region is anchored by the North Anna Nuclear Powerplant, complete with its cooling lagoons, Reactors, and a prominent Radio Tower.
