1994 Map of Spotsylvania

About this map

Fredericksburg-Spotsylvania National Military Park dominates the northwest corner of this quadrangle, preserving the hallowed ground of Civil War engagements near Spotsylvania. The landscape is a mix of agricultural heritage and late-20th-century residential expansion, particularly visible around the Ni River Reservoir. Local history is deeply rooted along the banks of the Po River and Ni River, where historical crossing points like Andrews Bridge and Sneels Bridge link the small communities of Snell, Old Trap, and Thornburg. The presence of a Confederate Cem near the courthouse area emphasizes the region's historical weight. Industry and infrastructure are marked by the remains of local milling operations, including Smiths Mill and Stannards Mill, while the eastern edge follows the modern corridor defined by Interchange 126 and Interchange 118.
