About this map

James River frontage and the Chesapeake And Ohio railroad line anchor the southern portion of this Goochland County landscape, where the State Farm Penal Institution and associated Sewage Disposal facilities occupy the river flats. The interior is characterized by a dense network of creek systems, including Beaverdam Creek, Horsepen Creek, and Genito Creek, which historically dictated the placement of small rural crossroads like Oilville, Cardwell, and Perkinsville.

Social centers are well-documented through numerous country churches and educational sites such as Randolph Sch, Bethel Ch, and First Union Ch. The map shows several utility corridors with Pipelines and a Radio Tower cutting across the agricultural and wooded terrain. Significant local landmarks include Gammons Store and the settlement at Crozier, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of central Virginia just before the 1980s.
