About this map

Brandon and Lower Brandon anchor the southern reaches of this landscape where the James River defines the horizon. This 2013 survey illustrates the Tidewater region's intricate coastal geography, where the Chickahominy River meets the James at a confluence marked by Ferry Point and Gordon Island. The interior is defined by a network of creeks and necks, including Barrows Cr and Old Neck Cr, which separate scattered settlements and historic landholdings.

Transport through this part of Virginia follows long-established corridors such as the John Tyler Memorial Hwy and Wilcox Neck Rd. Localities like Holdcroft, Rustic, and Blanks Store remain centered around these crossroads. The map also traces the significant marshlands and points along the riverbanks, from Big Marsh Point to Bachelor Point, providing a precise record of the shoreline and maritime infrastructure including Ritchie Wharf and the Chickahominy Bridge.
