About this map

The Mattaponi Indian Reservation sits along the southern banks of the Mattaponi River, a central geographical feature that defines the landscape of this Tidewater region. This late-1960s survey captures the area's rural character, where the river's winding course is dotted with historical points of access like White Oak Landing, Scotland Landing, and the Mantua Ferry. These locations, along with Sandy Point and Log Landing, represent a long history of river-based commerce and transport that preceded modern road networks.

Inland, the map reveals a community structured around small settlements and country churches, including Wayland Ch near Stevensville and Mattaponi Ch near Cumnor. The presence of Indian Mound Ponds and the namesake King and Queen Court House provides essential landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracking the civic and cultural heritage of the Tidewater peninsula between the Mattaponi and Rappahannock watersheds.
