SUMMARY:Mapping the Commonwealth\, 1816–1826
DESCRIPTION:On display Oct. 21\, 2024 through June 7\, 2025\n\nFree and 
 open to the public. Free parking is available underneath the Library of 
 Virginia at 800 East Broad Street\, Richmond\, VA.\n\n“Mapping the 
 Commonwealth\, 1816–1826” presents examples from 40 manuscript maps 
 that highlight the painstaking task of creating Virginia's first official 
 state map\, one of the earliest in the nation. In 1816\, teams of surveyors 
 fanned out across the Commonwealth to survey every county in Virginia. The 
 General Assembly needed an accurate map of the state to know the location 
 of post roads\, stage roads\, rivers\, mountains\, villages and taverns — 
 just about anything you can imagine — to plan the internal improvements 
 needed to move goods to markets and to improve communication. Combining art 
 and science\, these surveys attest to the dedication\, skill and stamina of 
 surveying teams who worked without the benefit of GPS and today's 
 technology.\n
