1958 Map of Toano

About this map

Toano and Barhamsville serve as the primary inland hubs in this mid-century portrait of the Virginia Peninsula. The landscape is defined by its deep hydrological system, where Wahrani Swamp, Richardson Swamp, and Bird Swamp drain eastward toward the tidal York River and Ware Creek. The transport network reflects both the modern era and the remnants of older transit, with the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad running through Toano near Branch Siding, while a Dismantled Railroad trace cuts through the center of the sheet.
