2016 Map of Passapatanzy

About this map

Passapatanzy and the surrounding rural landscape of King George and Stafford Counties are defined by the convergence of the Potomac Creek and the Potomac River. The terrain is characterized by prominent peninsulas and necks, including Marlborough Neck and Crows Nest Point, which reach into the wide waters near Fairview Beach. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous historical burial grounds, such as Bethel Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Union Belle Cem, often situated near small inland communities like White Oak and Sealston. The map illustrates the transition from the marshy lowlands of Big Marsh and Black Swamp to the residential corridors along Belle Plains Rd. Further south, the landscape is marked by the course of the Rappahannock River and the tributaries of Lambs Creek, showing the traditional settlement patterns of the Virginia Tidewater region.
