1965 Map of Toano

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Toano and the surrounding James City County landscape are defined by a complex network of freshwater swamps and tidal waterways feeding into the York River. During this mid-1960s survey, the area maintained a rural character centered on crossroads settlements like Barhamsville and Norge. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad corridor serves as a primary axis for development, passing through the heart of Toano near historical landmarks like the Hickory Neck Ch. The topography reveals the transition from the upland ridges to the low-lying wetlands of Wahani Swamp and France Swamp. Notable infrastructure of the era includes the State Prison Camp No 16 in the northwest and the expansion of water resources at Diascund Creek Reservoir and Little Creek Reservoir, reflecting the region's evolving utility needs.
