This is a 30-minute USGS topographic sheet, a 1897 edition printed in 1904, and after 122 years it survives in excellent condition – never folded, smooth and flat, on thick stock, with a flawless map area. The quad spans a stretch of central Virginia south of Richmond, taking in Amelia, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, and Nottoway counties along with communities like Winterpock, Moseley, and Sutherland, while the edge of the Richmond area reaches the northern part of the sheet. Drawn from an 1895 field survey under geographer Henry Gannett and engraved in 1897, it shows the area long before the Richmond suburbs spread outward, and it comes from an uncommonly well-preserved collection. The reverse carries printed reference material on reading the map.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the USGS 30-minute series have been out of print for many years. They have never been common and original prints are increasingly difficult to find. For areas where the 30-minute map was produced, it is usually the first large-scale survey done by the USGS for that area. These are a valuable historical record, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent series’ and editions.
