About this map

The Middlesex County Courthouse in Saluda anchor this Tidewater landscape where the historic road network converges. Established communities like Christchurch and Locust Hill sit atop the high ground between the Rappahannock River and the winding Piankatank River. The map reveals a transition from these upland settlements to the intricate wetlands of the coastal plain, characterized by naming patterns like My Ladys Swamp and the expansive Dragon Swamp.

Modern institutions, such as the Rappahannock Community College Glenns Campus near Glenns, reflect the area's continued growth along the Tidewater Trail. Genealogists and local historians can find specific burial sites at Centenary Cem and Christ Church Cem, while the inclusion of smaller locales like Pampa, Harcum, and Hornets Nest provides a detailed look at the rural crossroads that define the Middle Peninsula.
