About this map

The Pamunkey River winds along the border of Hanover and King William counties, defining a landscape of deep meanders like Sutton Neck and Crump Neck. This mid-century survey captures a rural Virginia corridor transitioning between its agricultural past and emerging residential pockets. Clusters of community life appear at Studley and Pole Green, where the presence of numerous small congregations, such as Enon Church, Salem Church, and Second Union Church, points to a long-established social fabric.

Water-driven history remains visible through the Hawes Millrace and Talley Millpond, while several small landing strips and a Lookout Tower reflect mid-20th-century utility. The map also documents institutional and educational landmarks, including the State Industrial School and the Battlefield Park School, alongside family-named corners such as Linney Corners and Crosses Corner. Natural drainage is dominated by the sprawling Totopotomoy Creek and its various tributaries like Mantilo Branch, which cut through the local terrain.
