1984 Map of Hog Island

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Hog Island and its surrounding wetlands dominate this stretch of the James River during the mid-1980s, illustrating a landscape where colonial history and modern infrastructure coexist. On the northern bank, the transition from historical preservation to contemporary recreation is evident in the proximity of the Kingsmill Plantation Site and Carters Grove Historical Home to the expansive grounds of Busch Gardens. The development of Kingsmill On The James reflects the era's residential growth near the Colonial National Historical Park. Across the water, the Gravel Neck peninsula is defined by the industrial presence of the Surry Nuclear Powerplant, a stark contrast to the preserved marshes of the Hog Island State Wildlife Management Area. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites like the Travis Cem on Jamestown Island or the Little Zion Ch near Grove, alongside established transport links such as the Colonial Parkway and the Williamsburg Jamestown Airport.
