About this map

Petersburg dominates the confluence of the Appomattox River and its varied industrial and transportation infrastructure as it appeared just after the Second World War. The urban grid is defined by significant landmarks including the USC&GS Courthouse Tower 1941 and the campus of Virginia State College in nearby Ettrick. This map captures a landscape heavily shaped by its military history, prominently featuring the Petersburg National Military Park and the site of The Crater.
