1943 Map of Machodoc

About this map

Nomini Hall stands as a central landmark in this mid-century survey of Westmoreland County, anchoring a landscape defined by the intricate tidal reaches of the Machodoc River and Nomini Creek. The map documents a transition from traditional waterfront commerce to inland agriculture, evidenced by Mcguires Wharf and various landings along Machodoc Neck contrasted with the established estates of Mt Pleasant Farm and Antioch Farm. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of the Lee Burial Plot and numerous rural congregations like Jerusalem Church and St Johns Ch. The presence of Knights Community Hall and the Cople Parish Ho near Hague suggests a tightly knit social fabric during the war years. Small crossroads such as Nomini Grove and Erica are meticulously mapped alongside topographic details like Beales Millpond and the George Washington Memorial Hwy.
