About this map

The Pamunkey River winds through this tidewater landscape, defining the boundary between King William and New Kent counties. Along its banks, the Pamunkey Indian Reservation occupies a prominent peninsula near Chamberlayne Point, surrounded by expansive wetlands like Lilly Point Marsh and Cousiac Marsh. The river's complexity is shown through various passages such as the Cumberland Thorofare and the presence of substantial landmasses like West Island.

Upland from the marshes, the settlement at New Kent serves as a focal point, supported by a network of rural landmarks including New Kent Chapel and Corinth Ch. The Southern railroad line cuts across the northern terrain, connecting river landings such as Sweet Hall Landing and Brickhouse Landing. Local industry and water management are evident at Cohoke Millpond and Cooks Millpond, while numerous small churches like Bethany Ch and Second Elam Ch anchor the community's social geography.
