1920 Map of King William
USGS Topo · Published 1937About this map
The Pamunkey River and Mattaponi River define the tidewater landscape of this region during the years following the first World War. At the heart of the terrain lies the Pamunkey Indian Reservation, situated on a prominent bend of the river near White House. The map documents a rural economy transitioning from water-based transport to rail, evidenced by the Southern railroad line crossing the landscape and older landmarks like the Piping Tree Ferry and Newcastle Bridge. Numerous local milling sites, such as Crumps Mill and Parsleys Mill, suggest a landscape of small-scale industry and family-owned lands. Scattered crossroads settlements like King William and Talleysville serve as hubs for social life, anchored by landmarks such as St Peters Church and several rural schools including the Second Liberty School.
