1969 Map of Prince George

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.
