About this map

Providence Forge sits at the heart of this landscape, where the Chickahominy River creates a complex network of wetlands and tributaries. The area's history is tied to these waters, with Old Forge Pond and Oldhouse Landing marking historical points of transit and industry. The terrain transitions from the higher elevations of Minitree Hill down to significant marshlands like Rumley Marsh and Big Swamp.

Settlement patterns in the early 21st century follow established routes like Pocahontas Trl, connecting smaller communities such as Mountcastle, Sandybottom, and Roaches Corner. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named roads like Lott Cary Rd and Lewis Tyler Ln, alongside numerous creeks including Schiminoe Cr and Stony Run, which define the rural boundaries of New Kent and Charles City counties.
