About this map

The Pamunkey River snakes along the northern boundary of this Hanover County landscape, defining the deep river bends of Sutton Neck and Crump Neck. This mid-century survey captures a rural Tidewater region transitioning between traditional agriculture and modern infrastructure, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits and several small aircraft Landing Strips dotting the terrain. The central settlement of Studley serves as a local anchor, surrounded by established community landmarks such as Enon Church and the State Industrial School.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Cypress Cem, Abraham Cem, and Zion Cem. The southern portion of the map is defined by the headwaters of Totopotomoy Creek and Matadequin Creek, where historical industry is noted at Talley Millpond. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor passes through the northwest corner near Cady, linking this agrarian corridor to the larger rail network of Virginia.
