1983 Map of Surry

About this map

Colonial National Historical Park anchors the northern bank of the James River in this 1983 edition, highlighting the preserved historical landscape of the early Virginia colony. The map details the core commemorative area at Jamestown Festival State Park, including the Glass House Ruins and the Jamestown Visitor Center. Across the water, the south bank reveals a different character, marked by the agricultural and educational foundations of Surry County. Here, local history is preserved at Smith Fort and the Warren House, while the rural social fabric is evidenced by the presence of Oakwood Sch and Grace Union Ch. The topography is defined by the winding course of Grays Creek and Timber Neck, with the ferry route providing a critical connection between the historic sites of the north shore and the crossroads at Surry.
