1974 Map of Quinton

About this map

Quinton, Virginia, is captured in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which reveals the interplay between agricultural clearing and dense woodland in New Kent County. The map provides a unique aerial perspective of the rural landscape, showing the distinct patterns of property lines and timber tracts that defined the region during this period. The settlement of Quinton serves as a central point of reference, surrounded by an intricate network of secondary roads and farm lanes. This photographic record is particularly useful for observing land-use changes and the specific layout of forest cover before later residential development altered the traditional rural character of the area.
