About this map

Potomac Creek meets the Potomac River in this detailed look at a coastal Virginia landscape, where tidal marshes and river landings define the local geography. The map documents a cluster of named landings and points, such as Marlboro Point, Old Landing Point, and Spilmans Landing, reflecting the area's deep connection to riverine transit. Further inland, the settlement of Passapatanzy serves as a central hub for a network of crossroads communities including Cox Corner, Johnsons Corner, and Fines Corner.

Religious and community life is anchored by several rural landmarks, including Fletchers Chapel, Mountain View Ch, and Bethlehem Ch. The southern portion of the sheet transitions toward the Rappahannock River, showing the community of Sealston and a distinctive Abandoned road segment. This survey is particularly notable for its bathymetric data, providing depth contours for the river bottom alongside the terrestrial topography of the Northern Neck.
