2016 Map of Dunnsville

About this map

The Rappahannock River defines the northeastern edge of this landscape, where waterfront landings like Wares Wharf and Browns Point once facilitated river-borne trade. Further inland, the terrain transitions into the dense marshlands of Dragon Swamp and Exol Swamp, which dominate the southern reach of the survey. The settlement pattern follows the high ground along Tidewater Trl, connecting communities such as Dunnsville, Ozeana, and Center Cross. This corridor reveals a long-established agricultural and timber-linked economy, evidenced by the numerous swamp-draining creeks like Mussel Swamp and Yorkers Swamp. Genealogists may find interest in the centrally located Rappahannock Cem and smaller named locales like Upright, Ino, and Contra that dot the crossroads of Essex and King and Queen counties.
