1965 Map of Saluda
USGS Topo · Published 1980About this map
The community of Saluda serves as a focal point in this portion of the Middle Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the intricate waterways of the Rappahannock River and Piankatank River. The map reveals a mid-century pattern of small settlements and educational institutions, including Christchurch Sch and St Clare Walker High Sch. The region’s maritime character is evident at Saluda Landing and Burhans Wharf, while the interior is webbed with extensive wetlands such as Dragon Swamp and Courthouse Swamp. Local history is anchored by numerous rural houses of worship like Emmanuel Ch and Antioch Ch. The inclusion of Camp Nimcock Landing Strip and various sandpits suggests a transition toward modern transportation and light industrial activity within an otherwise traditional tidewater environment.
