1949 Map of Quinton

About this map

Parsleys Millpond and the headwaters of the Chickahominy River anchor this 1940s landscape where the borders of New Kent, Hanover, and Henrico counties converge. The area is defined by a rural network of small community centers like Quinton, Parsleys, and Bottoms Bridge, largely sustained by small-scale milling operations at sites such as Flanagans Mill. In the south, the Southern railroad runs parallel to the swampy lowland terrain of the river valley, passing through a cluster of civic and spiritual centers including Union Ch and Quinton Sch.
