1953 Map of Westover

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Berkeley and the Evelynton Plantation anchor this mid-century look at the James River shoreline, where deep-water navigation meets a landscape of historic Virginia estates and rural riverfront industry. The map illustrates a transitional period for the James River corridor, documenting the Hopewell Airfield and the U S Bureau of Fisheries installation near Rolands Mill. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from Merchant Hope Ch in the south to Gillfield Ch near Barnetts. The topography is defined by the winding paths of Herring Creek and Powell Creek, which carve through the peninsula toward Tar Bay. Scattered rural settlements like Kimages, Beechwood, and Irving are connected by a network of early roads including the Memorial Highway and Westover Road, reflecting the area's deep-rooted agricultural and maritime heritage.
