General J. F. Gilmer, Confederate Engineer Bureau, Richmond, VA - Chief Engineer.

From surveys of B. L. Blackford, Assst. Engr. Made under direction of Capt. A. H. Campbell, Provl. Engrs. in charge Topog. Dept. D.N.V. "It is impossible to designate definitively the exact character of the roads in this county especially in the low parts. Some public roads seem to be altogether disused, and almost effaced, and many farm & private roads have become thoroughfares, this is especially the case along the river. The county is entriely stripped of enclosures, and cut up with innumerable camp paths. The Roads are generally well beaten, but even even much washed, and many small crossings even destroyed by the July rain." (signed) B. Lewis Blackfod, Asst Engr. handwritten note on map.
