About this map

Fort Lee occupies a central role in this landscape, showing the complex street grid of the military installation including Quartermaster Rd and various access roads. To the west, the eastern portions of Petersburg meet the protected grounds of the Petersburg National Battlefield, where historical defense lines are preserved amidst modern development. The map reveals a transition from the urban-military core to the rural agricultural character of Prince George and New Bohemia.

Hydrological patterns are defined by the low-lying reaches of Blackwater Swamp and Second Swamp, which are interspersed with numerous named water bodies like Hanzlik Pond and Isaac Walton Pond. For genealogists, the map is a primary source for locating local burial grounds, ranging from Saint Pauls Cem in the north to Garys Cem in the south, along with prominent sites like Southlawn Memorial Park and Sacred Heart Cem.
