1946 Map of Petersburg
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The Appomattox River anchors this postwar landscape, separating the dense urban core of Petersburg from Ettrick, Matoaca, and Colonial Heights to the north. Compiled just after the war, the map highlights the immense footprint of the Camp Lee Military Reservation and the sprawling Petersburg Battlefield Park that preserves the region's complex history. A network of three major railroads—the Norfolk and Western, Atlantic Coast Line, and Seaboard Air Line—converges on the city, illustrating its role as a vital mid-century transportation hub.
