2013 Map of Port Royal

About this map

Port Royal and Port Conway face one another across the Rappahannock River at the site of the James Madison Memorial Bridge, marking a historically significant river crossing. The geography is defined by the winding river channel, creating prominent landforms like Skinkers Neck, Nanzemun Neck, and Goat Island. To the south of the river, Port Royal Cross Roads and the settlement of Lent connect the interior farmland via the Tidewater Trl, while the riverfront is dotted with family-named landings and points such as Berry Plains Lndg and Jiles Point. On the northern bank, the grounds of Belle Grove stand near the river's edge, surrounded by small communities like Milbank, Dogue, and Jersey. The network of creeks and ponds, including Goldenvale Cr and Gouldman Pond, illustrates the hydrology that supported early plantation and agricultural development in this part of Virginia.
