About this map

Nomini Creek and its many winding tributaries like Lower Machodoc Creek define this portion of Virginia’s Northern Neck. The map documents a landscape of scattered rural communities including Nomini, Mount Holly, and Hague, connected by narrow roads that trace the peninsulas or "necks" of land. At Nomini Bridge, the crossing links the western reaches near Hinnom to the interior, while family-named landmarks like Carys Point and Jenkins Point line the waterfront.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and social history is visible through scattered burial grounds such as Lee Cem and Potomac Cem, alongside Ebenezer Church. The terrain is punctuated by small water bodies like Beales Millpond and Newtons Pond, which historically supported local industry and milling. Along the eastern edge, the topography shifts near Prospect Hill and the Oldfield Swamp, providing a detailed look at the wetland environments that characterize this coastal plain region.
