About this map

Pamunkey River and Mattaponi River shoreline life defines this coastal plain landscape in the late 1940s. The region is marked by historic river access points such as Roanes Wharf, Grimes Landing, and the Piping Tree Ferry, reflecting an era when these waterways were vital conduits for commerce and local travel. Inland, the topography is carved by tidal tributaries like Acquinton Creek and Jacks Creek, which separate small agricultural communities and family estates like Chericoke.
