1949 Map of King William

About this map

The Mattaponi River and Pamunkey River define the winding borders of this coastal plain landscape in the late 1940s. At the center of the peninsula, the village of King William serves as a focal point, connected to the surrounding countryside by the Washington Burgess Route and the historic Pamunkey Trail. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural society structured around small landings and river crossings such as Piping Tree Ferry, Roanes Wharf, and Grimes Landing.
