1979 Map of Trenholm

About this map

Trenholm serves as a central junction in this rural Powhatan County landscape, where small clearings and agricultural fields dot the heavily forested Virginia countryside. Produced by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, this orthophotoquad utilizes 1979 aerial imagery to provide a photographic perspective of the region's land use and hydrology during the late twentieth century. To the south and east, the small communities of Ballsville and Belona anchor the local road network, while the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Muddy Creek and Deep Creek. The imagery reveals the varied water bodies of the area, including Redford Pond and the Powhatan Lakes, offering researchers a clear view of the timber and farming patterns that shaped this portion of Virginia before modern development.
