1968 Map of Lively

About this map

The Rappahannock River defines the southern edge of this Northern Neck landscape, where the tidal fingers of Mulberry Creek and Deep Creek reach into the timbered interior. The 1968 topography reveals a collection of crossroads settlements such as Lively, Nuttsville, and Litwalton, which served as the social hubs for the surrounding farming and fishing communities. Inland, the importance of water power is evident at Balls Millpond and Blakemore Millpond, while the riverfront near Morattico and Griffins Landing reflects the historic reliance on waterborne transport for the region's economy.
