About this map

The Fort A P Hill Military Reservation dominates this landscape along the south bank of the Rappahannock River during the mid-1990s. This specific commemorative edition highlights the Jamboree Area, complete with its Jamboree Main Entrance, Amphitheater, and supporting infrastructure like Airstrip No 4. The map reveals a transition from the river-oriented wharves of the past, such as Hayfield Wharf and Moons Mount Wharf, to the expansive military training grounds and temporary scouts' encampments.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous named crossroads and small settlements throughout Caroline County, including Maryton, Gouldin, and the namesake Rappahannock Academy. The terrain is characterized by the winding river and numerous inland water bodies like Travis Lake and Fish Hook Lake, which are interspersed with local landmarks like Travis Mill and Bethesda Church. This map serves as a detailed record of the land before and during its modern military and commemorative use.
