1969 Map of Bacons Castle

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Bacons Castle and the surrounding coastal plain of the Virginia Tidewater are captured here during a period of steady rural continuity. Situated near the border of Surry and Isle of Wight counties, the area is defined by a dense network of slow-moving waterways including Lawnes Creek and the Pagan River, which flow toward the wide expanse of Burwell Bay. The map reveals a landscape deeply rooted in its local institutions, evidenced by numerous country churches such as Mount Nebo Ch and First Gravel Hill Ch, alongside the Hardy Sch. Industry is localized and tied to the land, shown by a Gravel Pit and Sandpit near Lawson. To the east, the James River shipping lane is marked by the Rock Landing Shoal Channel, highlighting the enduring importance of the river to the regional economy.
