2022 Map of Mount Landing

About this map

The Rappahannock River forms the northeastern boundary of this landscape in Essex County, where the historic shoreline is defined by points like Mulberry Point and Mallorys Point. Inland, the terrain is shaped by a dense network of tidal creeks and swamps, including Mount Landing Creek and the expansive Criddlin Swamp. Small settlements and crossroads such as Mount Landing, Caret, and Rexburg are connected by a web of rural roads, including the prominent Tidewater Trail. Genealogy researchers will find several significant sites for family history, most notably the New Mount Zion Baptist Church Cemetery and the Hermon Methodist Church Cemetery. South of the river, the map details agricultural and forested lands punctuated by small communities like Kino and Desha, leading toward the residential outskirts of Tappahannock.
