1964 Map of Midlothian

About this map

The James River carves through this Virginia landscape, separating Goochland and Powhatan counties while creating distinctive riverine features like Sabot Island and Tuckahoe Island. During the mid-1960s, the area maintained a balance between historic rural settlements and emerging residential growth. The southern portion of the map centers on the community of Midlothian, where the Southern railroad line runs parallel to established landmarks like Mt Pisgah Ch and First Ch. To the north, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the river's bend, serving the village of Sabot. Local heritage is evident in the numerous country churches such as Hugenot Springs Ch and the St John Vianney Seminary, while the terrain is shaped by several drainages including Michaux Creek and Falling Creek, which feeds into Lake Salisbury.
