About this map

The Mattaponi River and Pamunkey River systems define the low-lying terrain of central Virginia in the era before major modern development. The landscape is an intricate network of wetland drainage, featuring significant tracts such as Reedy Swamp and Boot Swamp, where early industry is represented by Reedy Mill and Bucks Mill. This 1918 survey documents a segregated educational and social landscape, specifically labeling facilities like the Penola School (Colored), School No 8 (Colored), and the Reformatory for Boys (Colored) near Hanover.
