About this map

The Appomattox River serves as the focal point for this wartime survey, anchoring the industrial and civic center of Petersburg and its surrounding communities. The map captures the city during the 1940s, highlighting the dense rail network formed by the Norfolk and Western, Seaboard Coast Line, and Atlantic Coast Line. Beyond the urban core, the landscape is defined by its deep historical scars, specifically at The Crater and the broader Petersburg National Military Park.
