1965 Map of Quinton

About this map

The Chickahominy River serves as the dividing line between New Kent and Henrico counties, surrounded by a complex network of wetlands including Higgins Swamp and Crumps Swamp. In the mid-1960s, the landscape was defined by small crossroads settlements like Quinton and Bottoms Bridge, alongside established agrarian sites such as Orapax Farms. The area’s historical infrastructure is evident in the presence of an Old Railroad Grade near Woodlawn and the Southern railroad line cutting through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous rural religious and educational sites, including Antioch Sch Cem, Black Creek Ch, and Prospect Ch. The interior is dotted with millponds like Flanagans Millpond, while newer developments like Bradley Acres and Woodhaven Shores indicate shifting residential patterns toward the late 20th century.
