2016 Map of Perkinsville

About this map

The James River forms the southern boundary of this central Virginia landscape, a region defined by the convergence of Goochland, Louisa, Hanover, and Powhatan counties. The mid-2010s geography is characterized by rural crossroads and agricultural holdings, including the Virginia State Farm with its managed ponds like Virginia State Farm Pond Number One. Small settlements such as Perkinsville and Oilville sit along the primary corridors of Broad Street Rd, while the terrain to the south falls away toward the river basin. The drainage network is dense, with Beaverdam Cr and Horsepen Cr carving through the hills. Water management for local estates and agriculture is evident in named features like Mount Bernard Lake, Lake Fullstream, and Richmonds Pond, reflecting the evolution of the land from traditional tobacco and grain farming into modern residential and recreational parcels.
