About this map

The Pamunkey River winds through this Tidewater landscape, defining the jagged border between Hanover and King William counties. This modern topographic record illuminates the rural continuity of the region, where crossroads settlements like Manquin and Old Church serve as focal points for a network of winding local roads. The terrain is characterized by extensive wetlands and swampy lowlands, including Judy Swamp and Whiting Swamp, which frame the agricultural and forested uplands.

Genealogists and local historians can locate long-standing community landmarks such as Sharon Baptist Church Cem and McKendree Methodist Church Cem. The river's influence is evident in the naming of features like Skidmore Bar and the Horseshoe bend, as well as several historically significant millponds including Dabneys Millpond and Boshers Millpond. Small hamlets like Enfield and Hanovertown appear alongside newer developments like Central Garage, showing the gradual evolution of the Virginia countryside.
