About this map

The North Anna River defines the southern boundary of this Caroline County landscape, where the northernmost reaches of the Richmond National Battlefield Park preserve a vital piece of Civil War history. Near Fox Bridge, the terrain transitions from the protected parklands to the residential and commercial developments around Ruther Glen. The local infrastructure is shaped by the intersection of major thoroughfares and rural routes like Rogers Clark Blvd, connecting small communities such as Golansville, Balty, and Peatross.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography and historical industry, evidenced by features like Colemans Millpond, Lake Shannon, and De Jarnette Mill Run. Genealogists will find significant points of interest in the multiple burial grounds distributed across the quadrangle, including Saint Margarets Cem, Saint Pauls Cem, and Carmel Cem, which serve as anchors for the long-standing family lineages of this central Virginia region.
