1944 Map of Howertons

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Millers Tavern serves as a central crossroads on this mid-century survey, where the boundary between Essex Co and King and Queen Co bisects the rural landscape. The map reveals a community defined by its watercourses and small social centers, such as Bruington and Howertons. The hydrology is particularly striking, dominated by the winding expanse of Dragon Swamp to the east and Wrights Millpond near the center of the sheet. Numerous small educational and religious landmarks are documented, including the John Moncure Sch, Beulah Sch, and Smyrna Ch. These features illustrate the decentralized settlement pattern of the Virginia Tidewater region during the 1940s, showing a network of hamlets like Henleys Fork and Bestland connected by winding secondary roads that follow the drainage divides of Piscataway Creek and Fleets Creek.
