1983 Map of Surry

About this map

The James River and Chickahominy River converge in this Tidewater Virginia survey, revealing a landscape defined by maritime heritage and early colonial history. Historical landmarks like the Warren House and Smith Fort anchor the peninsula south of the river, while the town of Surry serves as a central hub for the surrounding rural communities of Alliance, Lebanon, and Oakwood. The intricate shoreline is deeply indented by tidal guts and creeks, such as Grays Creek and Timber Neck Creek, which provide access to numerous landings including Grays Landing and Clarks Landing. Across the water, the Colonial National Historical Park and the Jamestown Visitor Center mark the sites of early English settlement. This survey documents the persistent coastal character of the region, where older infrastructures like Dillard Wharf and Cobham Wharf sit alongside modern developments such as Jamestown Festival State Park and the recreational facilities of Pipsico Boy Scout Res.
