About this map

The Mattaponi River serves as the primary geographical divider between King and Queen and King William counties, carving a winding path through a landscape defined by extensive wetlands and tidal marshes. Along its banks, the river features notable navigational points such as De Farges Bar and is fed by a complex network of tributaries including Cohoke Mill Creek, Brooks Creek, and Garnetts Creek. The surrounding terrain is heavily influenced by hydrology, evidenced by the large interior wetlands of Exol Swamp and Indian Town Swamp.

Historically significant settlements are scattered throughout the region, anchored by the King and Queen Court House near the river's edge. Other small communities such as Stevensville, Rickahock, and Mantapike are connected by a network of rural roads that skirt around several ponds, including Spring Branch Pond and Stevensville Pond. The map illustrates a predominantly agricultural and maritime-focused layout, where land use is dictated by the broad river valley and its associated marshes.
