About this map

Fort A P Hill Military Reservation dominates this central Virginia landscape, a vast military tract established during the 1940s that fundamentally altered local settlement patterns. Before the reservation’s expansion, this area was defined by a dense network of crossroad communities and family-named landmarks. The map records several of these intersections, including Goldmans Corner, Daniel Corner, and Martins Corner, indicating a legacy of small-scale agriculture and landholding that predates the military's arrival.

Ecclesiastical and community life is anchored by Upper Zion Ch and Ebenezer Ch, while the landscape is naturally partitioned by numerous watercourses like Beverly Run and Mason Swamp. The presence of small named runs like Shady Grove Run and Mashbor Run suggests a well-watered terrain historically utilized for milling or light industry. This 1968 study, updated with 1980s photorevisions, preserves the names of locations such as Naulakla and Brandywine as they existed within the shadow of the reservation.
