About this map

The Pamunkey River winds through this coastal landscape, defining the border between King William and New Kent counties. This 2016 survey captures the intricate network of tidal marshes and waterways, including Lilly Point Marsh and Sweet Hall Marsh. The terrain is shaped by the river's path, creating distinct landforms like Chamberlayne Point, West Island, and Chandlers Island. These islands are separated from the mainland by narrow passages such as Bell Thorofare and Cumberland Thorofare.

Away from the wetlands, the settlements of Lanesville, Cohoke, and New Kent serve as anchors for the local road network. The map reveals the historical reliance on water resources, evidenced by several mill-related features such as Cohoke Millpond and Cooks Millpond. Genealogists and local historians will find family-associated landmarks like Bethany Cem and Sweet Hall Cem, along with named rural routes like Old Sweet Hall Ferry Rd and Mount Olive Cohoke Rd.
