I have added a link to the David Rumsey Map Collection. Here is a description taken from the site:
The David Rumsey Map Collection was started over 30 years ago and contains more than 150,000 maps. The collection focuses on rare 16th through 21st century maps of North and South America, as well as maps of the World, Asia, Africa, Europe, and Oceania. The collection includes atlases, wall maps, globes, school geographies, pocket maps, books of exploration, maritime charts, and a variety of cartographic materials including pocket, wall, children's, and manuscript maps. Items range in date from about 1550 to the present.
Digitization of the collection began in 1996 and there are now over 84,000 items online, with new additions added regularly. The site is free and open to the public.

There are some interesting Virginia maps on FamilySearch Books.

David Rumsey Maps are also on Google Earth Pro. If one is available where your ancestor lived, you can overlay these maps and get an idea what it was like. It's sweet. I did this for my ancestor in San Francisco in 1915.
