1969 Map of Petersburg

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Appomattox River serves as the central artery for this late 1960s study, dividing the industrial and residential centers of Petersburg and Colonial Heights. The map documents a landscape defined by its Civil War heritage, with extensive defensive works including Fort Lee, Fort Fisher, and The Crater preserved within the Petersburg National Battlefield. These military earthworks sit in contrast to the rapid mid-century expansion visible in neighborhoods like Walnut Hill and Kennelworth.
