1965 Map of Quinton

About this map

Chickahominy River and its extensive tributary networks of Cattail Swamp and Black Creek anchor this mid-century look at the borderlands of New Kent, Hanover, and Henrico counties. The landscape is defined by its water-driven history, with remnants of local industry visible at Parsleys Millpond and Flanagans Millpond. The emergence of modern transportation is evident where the interstate intersects the southern portion of the map near Bottoms Bridge, contrasting with the more traditional settlement patterns found at Quinton and Blacks Store. Several rural sanctuaries, including Hopewell Ch and Providence Ch, remain central to the community's layout. On the northwestern edge, an old railroad grade traces a former path through the timber, while newer residential developments like Woodhaven Shores reflect the era's changing land use.
