1917 Map of Kilmarnock

About this map

The Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula of Virginia meet the Chesapeake Bay in this 1916 survey, a landscape defined by its intricate shoreline and dependence on waterborne travel. Steamboat routes are clearly marked, connecting landings like Whitestone Wharf and Adam Wharf to the wider region before modern road networks dominated. The map captures a moment when local industry relied on sites like Duntons Mill and Barretts Mill, and community life centered around landmarks such as Christ Church, the Old Brick Church, and the County Fairgrounds near Kilmarnock.
