About this map

Powhatan serves as the central hub of this Virginia landscape, anchored by the Powhatan County Courthouse. The surrounding territory is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Fine Cr and Deep Creek, which dictate the placement of small rural communities like Provost and Jefferson. To the north, the boundary between Goochland Co and Powhatan Co follows the winding path of Deep Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as the Belmead Cem near the northern border and the Petersville Cem further south. The map documents the persistent agricultural character of the region, where named clearings like Saunders Field sit alongside water bodies like John L Lewis Lake and Sunfish Pond. These features, combined with the rural road networks like Old Buckingham Rd, provide a modern record of land use and settlement patterns in the Piedmont region.
