1969 Map of Petersburg

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Petersburg and Colonial Heights dominate this late-1960s landscape, where urban density meets the sprawling preservation of the Petersburg National Military Park. The map documents a complex overlay of 19th-century history and mid-20th-century development, showing the transition from the industrial corridors of the Appomattox River to the expanding residential neighborhoods of Walnut Hill and Ettrick. On Pocahontas Island and throughout the city, the grid reflects a deeply layered settlement history, while the surrounding countryside is marked by numerous Civil War fortifications such as Fort Fisher and Fort Wadsworth.
