About this map

The Colonial National Historical Park and the Yorktown Fuel Depot dominate the northwestern landscape of this coastal Virginia region. The intricate shoreline along the York River and Poquoson River is defined by numerous points and necks, such as Calthrop Neck and Hunts Neck, illustrating the deep integration of maritime life with local geography. Residential growth is evident in established communities like Poquoson and Grafton, alongside smaller developments including Evergreen Shores and Piney Point Estates.

Researchers will find significant genealogical data through several local burial sites, including Emmaus Cem, Zion Cem, and Hopkins Cem. Water management and industrial history are represented by the Harwoods Mill Reservoir and the York Haven Anchorage. The presence of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science at Quarter Point underscores the area's ongoing importance as a center for maritime study and coastal commerce.
