1952 Map of Petersburg

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Appomattox River carves through this mid-century landscape, separating the industrial and commercial core of Petersburg from Colonial Heights and Ettrick. This era marks the introduction of the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike, a massive infrastructure project cutting through established neighborhoods and the grounds of Central State Hospital. The map reveals the intricate intersection of transportation and history, where the tracks of the Norfolk and Western and Atlantic Coast Line railroads converge near the city center.
