About this map

The Mattaponi River serves as the primary boundary and transportation corridor in this portion of King William County, with the historic Walkerton Bridge connecting the community of Walkerton to the northern bank. The landscape is defined by the transition from riverfront settlements like Whitebank and Whitehall to the higher agricultural ground where Rumford and King William are situated. Small private airfields, including Hunt Airport and Brooklyn Airport, are scattered among the timbered swamps and tributaries that feed the major rivers.

Genealogists will find significant local-history value in the detailed plotting of religious and burial sites such as the Saint James Presbyterian Church Cem and the Jerusalem Christian Church Cem. To the southwest, the Pamunkey River marks the county line near Chericoke, while numerous named drainages like Acquinton Cr and Dawson Swamp illustrate the intricate hydrology that has influenced local land use for centuries.
