2019 Map of Beulahville

About this map

The Mattaponi River forms the northeastern boundary of this Virginia interior, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Herring Creek and its many tributaries. This area of King William County shows a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural settlements, including Beulahville, Epworth, and Upshaw. The community life of these hamlets is anchored by historic religious sites such as Beulah Baptist Church and Epworth United Methodist Church, both of which maintain their own burial grounds, Beulah Baptist Cem and Epworth United Methodist Cem. Local industry is evidenced by several water features, most notably Dublin Millpond, Mitchell Millpond, and Herring Cr Millpond, indicating a history of milling along the creek banks. Low-lying wetlands like Governor Swamp and Moncuin Pond further characterize the coastal plain terrain as it moves away from the riverfront.
