About this map

The Northern Neck of Virginia, a peninsula defined by its deep relationship with the Chesapeake bay tributaries, is showcased in this modern survey. Settlements like Lottsburg and Callao serve as central nodes for a landscape etched by tidewater creeks and historic agricultural divisions. The land is characterized by numerous necks—peninsular points of land extending into the water—including Cherry Point Neck, Lodge Neck, and Pea Neck.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several historic burial grounds and religious sites, such as the Gibeon Baptist Church Cem and the North Farnham Episcopal Church Cem. The persistent water-powered economy of earlier centuries is still visible through geographic features like Courtney Millpond, Falling Millpond, and Fallins Millpond. Small, named locales such as Strawberry Bottom, Dodlyt, and Hyacinth further define the local geography, while waterways like Totuskey Cr and Coan Mill Stream drain the interior toward the Potomac and Rappahannock watersheds.
