About this map

Jamestown Island and the Colonial National Historical Park stand as the centerpiece of this mid-2010s survey, marking the historic cradle of Virginia across the James River from Surry. The landscape reflects a mix of preserved heritage sites and quiet riverside settlements, where the James City County and Surry County border follows the river channel. On the northern bank, suburban expansion around First Colony and Lakewood meets the marshy inlets of Powhatan Creek and Sandy Bay.

South of the river, the town of Surry serves as a central hub, connected to the northern shore by the Jamestown-Scotland Ferry. Local history is preserved in several family and plantation burial grounds, including the Swanns Point Plantation Cem and Wier Neck Cem. The terrain is defined by complex tidal hydrology, with Grays Creek and Crouch Cr carving into the timbered necks of the southern bank.
