2010 Map of Clay Bank

About this map

The York River defines the geography of this Gloucester County region, where the tidal shoreline is broken by numerous creeks and marshy points. The legacy of colonial-era estates is visible in place names like Rosewell and the Old Rosewell Plantation Rd, which lead toward the historic water frontage. Inland, the map captures the transition from rural crossroads to residential communities, notably at Ordinary and White Marsh, where local post offices serve the surrounding neighborhoods. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Cheatham Annex military installation and the complex hydrology of Penniman Lake and King Creek. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites, including the Abingdon Cemetery and Providence Cemetery, while navigators can trace the waterfront from Clay Bank Landing down to Gloucester Point.
