About this map

Passapatanzy and the surrounding neck of land between the Potomac Creek and the Rappahannock River define this mid-1960s landscape. This tidewater region is characterized by numerous small named corners and settlements, reflecting a transition from traditional river-oriented life to a road-based community network. The northern boundary is marked by dramatic coastal features like Bull Bluff and Crows Nest Point, while the interior is dotted with local landmarks such as Fletchers Chapel and Mountain View Ch.

Transport and commerce are anchored by historic landing sites including Spillmans Landing and Old Landing Point, which trace the era when these waterways were primary arteries for King George and Stafford counties. The presence of numerous small cemeteries and rural crossroads like Batzner Corner and Cox Corner provides significant detail for genealogists tracking family settlements in this historic Virginia peninsula.
