1965 Map of Benns Church

About this map

St Lukes Ch (Old Brick Ch) stands as a prominent landmark near the intersection of several local routes, marking the historical heart of this Tidewater landscape. This mid-1960s survey documents a region defined by its intricate waterways, where the Pagan River and Chuckatuck Creek meet the broad reach of the James River. Small communities such as Battery Park, Rescue, and Carrollton are linked by a network of bridges, including the Fulgham Bridge and Titus Bridge, illustrating how the coastal geography dictated local movement and settlement patterns.
