New Bohemia and the surrounding Prince George countryside appear here as a landscape of expanding residential estates and historic swamp drainage. The area is defined by the headwaters of the Blackwater Swamp and Second Swamp, which are dotted with small impoundments such as Hanzliks Pond, Jandls Pond, and Bakers Pond. Numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Union Branch Cemetery and Sacred Heart Cemetery, provide valuable anchor points for genealogists. To the west, the suburban fringes of Petersburg press against the military boundaries of Fort Lee, where the Fort Lee Post Office and Fort Lee Golf Course are situated. The map illustrates the 21st-century transition of this Virginia tidewater region from a rural patchwork of woods and farms into a structured network of named subdivisions like Flactem Manor and Ethridge Estates.
