About this map

The King William County Courthouse stands as a central landmark in this Tidewater landscape, situated between the winding courses of the Mattaponi River to the north and the Pamunkey River to the south. This 2019 survey captures a rural Virginia peninsula defined by deep-seated settlements like Walkerton and Rumford, where the topography is heavily shaped by an intricate network of waterways including Acquinton Cr and Dawson Swamp.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the documentation of historic sites such as the Saint James Presbyterian Church Cem and the Jerusalem Christian Church Cem. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, from the riverbanks at Whitebank and Line Tree Bar to the inland aviation sites of Brooklyn Airport and Hunt Airport. This detailed modern record preserves the exact placement of family-named roads and landmarks like Chericoke and Locust Grove in a landscape still fundamentally tied to its colonial-era river boundaries.
