About this map

Nomini Creek and Lower Machodoc Creek carve a labyrinth of coves and necks through this portion of Westmoreland County, defining a landscape of tidal fingers and historic landings. The waterway is punctuated by numerous family-named points such as Kirk Point, Hanley Point, and Boyse Point, reflecting a long history of maritime settlement and private riparian access. At the head of the marshes, established communities like Hague, Mount Holly, and Nomini serve as hubs for the surrounding farm and timber lands.

Inland, the terrain rises toward Nomini Hills and Thompson Hill, where the drainage patterns of Antioch Br and Templeman Run feed the lower estuaries. Significant landmarks like the Prospect Hill Bridge and Nomini Bridge represent critical infrastructure connecting these peninsular communities. Genealogists may find interest in the proximity of Lee Cem and Ebenezer Cem to the early road networks of Tavern Run Rd and Oldhams Rd.
