About this map

The Nansemond River winds through this coastal Virginia landscape, creating a complex geography of points and landings including Glebe Point, Hollidays Point, and Wilkerson Landing. The settlement at Chuckatuck remains a central hub, supported by the Chuckatuck Post Office and nearby industrial and infrastructure markers like the Godwins Millpond Dam. This area exhibits a distinct pattern of historical occupation along the riverbanks, evidenced by numerous named landings and wharves such as Ferry Point Wharf and Trotman Wharf.

To the south and east, the map reveals the growth of residential and community life through neighborhoods like Sleepy Point Estates, Nansemond Shores, and Brittany Farms. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Christian Home Cemetery, Little Zion Cemetery, and Holly Lawn Cemetery. The presence of the G Robert House Junior Water Treatment Facility and various dams along the Western Branch Reservoir highlights the critical role of water management in this estuarine environment.
