1942 Map of Upper Zion

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

The A P Hill Military Reservation dominates much of this Virginia landscape, illustrating the rapid wartime expansion of military training grounds in 1942. This topographic survey captures the area at a critical juncture where established rural crossroads like Goldmans Corner, Martins Corner, and Jones Corner sat alongside the evolving borders of the reservation. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks, including Enon Church and Mt Zion Church, which served as anchors for the surrounding agricultural community. Waterways such as Tobacco Creek and Beverly Run provide the natural structure for the terrain, while specific survey points like the USC&GS Naulakla 1941 benchmark indicate the precise geodetic work being performed during the era. The many named junctions, such as Hickory Fork and Liberty Fork, reflect a settlement pattern deeply tied to early road development in Caroline and Essex counties.
