1966 Map of Savedge

About this map

Johnsons Landing sits on the southern banks of the James River as depicted in this mid-1960s coastal Virginia survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Wards Creek and the sprawling wetlands of Upper Chippokes Creek, which separate Prince George and Surry counties. Rural crossroads and small settlements like Burrowsville, Cabin Point, and Savedge anchor the interior, connected by a network of state routes and fire trails. Historically significant land tracts such as Flowerdew Hundred Creek appear alongside evidence of local industry, including Lone Oak Mill and various Gravel Pits. Local genealogy and community life are well-documented through several country churches, including Brandon Ch, Salem Ch, and the Church of All Nations, providing a clear record of the area's social fabric before modern development shifted the agricultural character of the region.
