About this map

The Mattaponi River meanders across this landscape, defining the character of Tidewater Virginia as it flows past historic riverfront sites like Roanes Wharf and Whitebank. The river serves as a central artery for the region, supporting the community of Walkerton, where the Walkerton Bridge and Walkerton Landing facilitate local transport. Evidence of early industry and infrastructure remains visible at the Walkerton Mill Dam and the Piping Tree Ferry crossing.

Away from the riverbanks, the map reveals a rural interior marked by established family lands and landmarks such as Whites Shop and the Four Forks Inn. For those researching local history or genealogy, the presence of the Saint James Presbyterian Church Cemetery and Jerusalem Christian Church Cemetery offers clear points of reference. The topography is defined by significant drainage systems including Acquinton Creek and Dawson Swamp, which shape the road network and settlement patterns of the King William area.
