About this map

Stratford Hall stands as the centerpiece of this coastal Virginia landscape, surrounded by a network of historic sites including Stratford Mill and the Stratford Millpond. This 2011 survey documents the shoreline where the Potomac River meets the distinctive Horsehead Cliffs, Stratford Cliffs, and Nomini Cliffs. These dramatic elevations overlook the river and its many bars and islands, such as Bullock Island and Saint Catherine Island.

Inland, the landscape is defined by low-lying wetlands including Kenna Swamp and Bryant Swamp, feeding into systems like Currioman Creek. The settlement pattern reflects long-standing rural communities such as Bryant Town, Chiltons, and Coltons Point, the latter featuring a dedicated Post Office. Genealogists may find value in the locations of Shiloh Cemetery and Currioman Cemetery, which sit among family-named landmarks like Mount Airy and Bettys Neck.
