2016 Map of Rollins Fork

About this map

The Rappahannock River defines the southern boundary of this region, where the tidewater landscape is shaped by prominent coastal features like Devils Elbow and Horse Head Point. Further inland, the terrain is a network of marshes and creeks, including Broom Swamp and Cow Swamp, which have influenced the layout of rural crossroads and family settlements. Local history is anchored by several small communities and religious sites, such as Shiloh and the namesake Rollins Fork. The map documents the persistent rural character of this Virginia territory, showing the proximity of older sites like Shiloh Ch and Oak Grove Cem to the evolving residential names along the river's edge, such as Nash Town. The complex intersection of county lines between Westmoreland, King George, Essex, and Caroline counties highlights the historical administrative importance of these river-side corridors.
