About this map

Passapatanzy sits at the center of this landscape, where the peninsula between the Potomac Creek and the Rappahannock River shows a rural pattern of crossroad settlements and small family churches. The northern shoreline is defined by tidal marshes and points like Crows Nest Point and Marlboro Point, while the interior is dotted with historical nodes such as Sealston, Fines Corner, and Butzner Corner.

Genealogists will find numerous houses of worship, including Fletchers Chapel, Bethel Ch, and Union Belle Ch, alongside various cemeteries. Transport routes like White Oak Road link these communities, while remnants of the past appear in the form of an abandoned rail line or roadbed crossing the wetlands near Lambs Creek. The map documents the area during a period of transition, with purple revisions from 1977 marking new structures and woodland changes since the original 1963 aerial photography.
