About this map

Tappahannock and Warsaw anchor this 2016 survey of the Rappahannock River valley, connected by the prominent Downing Bridge crossing. The map reveals a landscape defined by its riparian geometry, where numerous points and bars like Magoright Bar and Lowery Point extend into the broad waterway. This era of the region’s development is characterized by a blend of established riverfront communities like Naylors Beach and institutional growth at the Rappahannock Community Coll Warsaw Campus.

Away from the main river channel, the terrain is segmented by complex creek systems including Piscataway Creek and Little Carter Creek. Local history is preserved in sites such as Saint Johns Cem and Clarksville Cem, while the industrial past of the Tidewater is hinted at by features like the Mount Airy Millpond. The map provides a precise look at the road network branching out from the Richmond Rd corridor, serving small settlements such as Wellford and Ethel.
