About this map

Petersburg National Battlefield and the sprawling Fort Lee Military Reservation dominate the western edge of this landscape, reflecting the deep military and historical layers of the region. The map captures a transition from the urban density of Petersburg into the swampy, wooded lowlands of the Blackwater Swamp and Second Swamp. The settlement pattern follows the Norfolk and Western rail corridor, where the community of New Bohemia sits as a notable junction point.

Local civic and spiritual life is anchored by a network of rural institutions like Sacred Heart Ch, Oakland Ch, and Prince George High School. The landscape is dotted with named family and fishing sites such as Hanzlik Pond and Izaak Walton Pond, alongside industrial and municipal landmarks including the Petersburg Jail Farm and various sewage disposal facilities that point to mid-century regional infrastructure growth.
