2011 Map of Passapatanzy

About this map

The Potomac River and its intricate tributaries dominate this landscape, where the peninsula of Marlborough Neck reaches toward the water between Accokeek Creek and Potomac Creek. This 2011 survey records a dense network of riverside landings and residential developments, from the established neighborhood of Passapatanzy to coastal points like Montague Landing and Crows Nest Point. Inland, the terrain is defined by a series of small, family-named crossroads and communities such as Johnsons Corner, Cox Corner, and Gayles. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-marked burial sites, including Bethel Cemetery, Bethlehem Cemetery, and Fletchers Chapel Cemetery, which anchor the rural landscape. The southern boundary is traced by the Rappahannock River, highlighting the area's historical reliance on these major waterways for commerce and connection.
