1951 Map of Studley

About this map

The Pamunkey River winds along the eastern boundary of this Hanover County landscape, where the meandering water creates distinct geographic features like Sutton Neck and Crump Neck. This 1951 revision reveals a rural community structured around small crossroads settlements and an extensive network of country churches and schools. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts through the northwestern corner near Cady, while the southern portion of the map is anchored by the Battlefield Park High Sch and the community of Pole Green. Genealogists and local historians will find numerous landmarks of interest, including several educational sites like the Industrial Sch and Pole Green Sch, and religious centers such as New Bethesda Ch and Enon Ch. The terrain is deeply dissected by tributaries like Totopotomoy Creek and Crump Creek, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that shaped local development and road placement.
