1973 Map of Lake Anna West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The North Anna River valley in the early 1970s is a landscape in transition, dominated by the newly formed Lake Anna and the looming North Anna Nuclear Powerplant. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of Louisa Co and Spotsylvania Co just as the reservoir altered the local topography. While the northern waters submerge old stream beds like Pigeon Run and Pamunkey Creek, the surrounding hills remain dotted with traditional landmarks. Family and community history is anchored by numerous small churches and cemeteries, including Edgewood Ch and Elk Creek Ch. Industrial remnants such as Whitlock Millpond and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line trace the older economic patterns of the region, contrasting with the modern substation and radio towers near the river's bend.
