About this map

James River frontage and tidal flats define this landscape where the boundaries of Chesterfield, Charles City, and Prince George counties meet. The river serves as the central artery for several landings and points, including Harrisons Landing and Jordan Point, which connect the agrarian interiors to the water. The northern banks are marked by the presence of Westover and Berkeley, reflecting the deep colonial and post-colonial settlement patterns of the Virginia Tidewater.

Further inland, the map captures a network of rural churches such as Merchant Hope Ch and New Hope Ch, alongside the Harrison Lake National Fish Hatchery. Natural water systems like Herring Creek and Powell Creek feed into Tar Bay, while the Hopewell Airfield and Jordan Point Country Club represent mid-century developments. This survey provides a clear view of a region defined by its reliance on the river and its long-established community crossroads.
