2022 Map of Westover

About this map

The James River dominates this coastal Virginia landscape, carving a wide path between Charles City and Prince George counties. Along its northern banks, historical landholdings and modern developments intersect, evidenced by the Virginia Capital Trl winding past estates like Westover and Berkeley. The map records a transition from traditional river-bound economy to modern recreational and residential uses, with clusters such as Beechwood Manor and Evelynton Heights appearing alongside established landmarks like Rolands Mill. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly marshy, defined by Powell Creek and the dense wetlands of Wobles Swamp. This area remains punctuated by rural history, from the Merchants Hope Cem to small aviation sites like Henshaw Airport, showing how the tidewater region preserves its colonial-era geographic names while adapting to contemporary infrastructure and transit corridors.
