About this map

The Pamunkey Indian Reservation sits along the meandering curves of the Pamunkey River, a focal point of this tidewater landscape during the early twentieth century. This region is defined by its intricate water networks, including the Mattaponi River and Chickahominy River, which served as vital corridors for local trade and transport. The map documents an economy rooted in small-scale milling and rural commerce, evidenced by numerous named sites like Dabneys Mill, Crumps Mill, and Pattersons Store.
