2019 Map of Montpelier

About this map

Montpelier serves as the central hub of this rural Hanover County landscape, where the road network radiates out toward smaller crossroads and settlements. The terrain is defined by the winding course of the Newfound River in the north and the South Anna River in the south, with numerous tributaries like Cattail Cr and Taylors Cr carving through the wooded countryside. The map documents a blend of old agricultural homesteads and newer residential lanes, such as Parrish Farm Rd and Connie Hall Rd. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks including Saint Peters Cem near Goodall, and trace the proximity of the Louisa County line near Mabelton. The presence of features like Jones Swamp and Wolf Swamp illustrates the low-lying, water-rich nature of the Virginia Piedmont in this region, while names like Goshen Cross Road and Vontay highlight the enduring character of these historic rural communities.
