1968 Map of Kinsale

About this map

Yeocomico Ch and Yeocomico Chapel anchor the historical landscape of the Northern Neck during the late 1960s, a region defined by its intricate shoreline where the NW Yeocomico River meets the Potomac River. The settlement of Kinsale sits prominently at the head of a sheltered branch, surrounded by family-named landmarks like Shingle Hill and Grays Corner. This survey captures the traditional maritime and agricultural character of Westmoreland and Northumberland counties before modern development altered the rural waterfront. Land use is characterized by numerous small inlets and points, including Sandy Point Neck and Cherry Point Neck, with inland resources represented by Thompson Millpond and scattered Gravel Pits. Local genealogy is well-served by the presence of sites like Bailey Cem and several country churches, including Zion Ch and New Jerusalem Ch.
