1965 Map of Toano

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Toano and the neighboring community of Norge serve as central nodes along the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad in this detailed survey of James City and New Kent Counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of wetlands, including Richardson Swamp and Wahrani Swamp, which feed into the York River. A notable engineering feature is the Diascund Creek Reservoir, with its specified spillway elevation, indicating the area's mid-century water management. Local social infrastructure is well-represented through numerous country churches such as Hickory Neck Ch and Tabernacle Ch, alongside the State Prison Camp No 16 near the northern boundary. The presence of Richardson Millpond and several family-named ponds and swamps highlights a rural economy historically tied to the region's abundant water resources and timberlands.
