USGS Topo · Published 1945

About this map

Petersburg and its surrounding tri-city area are depicted here during the mid-1940s, revealing a landscape deeply marked by both industrial infrastructure and Civil War memory. The city's northern edge is defined by the Appomattox River, where the Battersea Canal and a Power Plant underscore the importance of the river to local industry. A dense concentration of major rail lines, including the Atlantic Coast Line, Seaboard Air Line, and Norfolk and Western, converge on the urban center, reflecting its status as a vital transportation hub.
