1918 Map of Morattico

About this map

Rappahannock River commerce and rural tidewater life define this 1917 survey of the Northern Neck. The landscape is interconnected by a Steamboat Route serving riverfront points like Sharps and Bowlers Wharf, providing a vital link for local agriculture before the dominance of modern highways. Inland, the map reveals a dense network of country schools and houses of worship, such as the Lonely Oak School and Totuskey Church, which served as the social anchors for dispersed communities like Haynesville and Luttrellville.
