About this map

The York River divides the landscape of this 2016 survey, serving as a boundary between several Virginia counties including James City, Gloucester, and King and Queen. Along the eastern shore, the Poropotank River feeds into the main channel, creating a complex wetland environment characterized by Purtan Island, Morris Bay, and the sprawling Meadow Swamp. Small, established communities like Adner, Plain View, and Gressitt are connected by a network of rural roads such as Stratton Major Rd and Jonestown Rd, reflecting the area's enduring agricultural and residential character.

Local history is preserved in named landings and corners such as Christensons Corner and Allmondsville, while the southern reaches near Capahosic show the narrowing of the river. The topography is marked by coastal features like Barren Point and Cowpen Neck, providing a detailed look at the hydrology of the Middle Peninsula. Notable water bodies such as Poropotank Bay and Gressitt Pond further define the drainage patterns of this tidal region.
