About this map

Westover and the storied plantations along the northern bank of the James River anchor this 2010 portrait of the Virginia Tidewater. The landscape is defined by the broad reach of the river, which is spanned here by the Benjamin Harrison Memorial Bridge, connecting Charles City County to the south bank. Historical continuity is visible through long-standing riverfront estates like Berkeley and Westover, and landmarks such as Harrisons Landing.

Away from the river, the map reveals a mosaic of tidal creeks and managed water bodies, including Charles Lake and the Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery. Genealogy and local history researchers can trace sites like Merchants Hope Cemetery near Garysville or Harrison Grove Cemetery closer to the river. The presence of Rolands Mill and Kimmages Wharf reflects the enduring reliance on the river-and-creek network for local commerce and geography.
