About this map

Jamestown and its surrounding colonial heritage sites dominate this mid-century survey of the Tidewater region. Across the James River, the settlement of Surry serves as a hub for the agricultural lands of Scotland Neck, where historic structures like Smith Fort and the Warren House stand as markers of early Virginian history. The landscape is defined by the shifting shoreline and tidal marshes, including Back River Marsh and the Tidal Flat near Swanns Point.

Transport patterns reflect both antiquity and mid-century development, from the Colonial National Historical Parkway to the ferry routes connecting Scotland to the northern shore. Genealogists can locate several family and community landmarks, such as Oakwood Cem, Poplar Lawn Ch, and Old Courthouse Corners. The presence of Pipsico Boy Scout Res and Jamestown Festival Park highlights the area's transition into a center for both recreation and historical commemoration.
