2011 Map of Truhart

About this map

King and Queen Court House serves as a historic focal point in this 2011 record of rural Virginia, situated along the western edge of a landscape defined by its complex hydrology. The map illustrates a network of extensive wetland systems, including Exol Swamp, Dragon Swamp, and Holmes Swamp, which dictate the placement of roads and small crossroads settlements. These communities, such as Carlton Corner, Dragonville, and Truhart, are connected by narrow routes like Liberty Hall Rd and Truhart Rd that skirt the swamp edges. Along the Mattaponi River in the southwest, riverfront locations like Melrose Landing and Davis Beach reflect a different orientation toward the water, while interior features like Exol Cemetery and Allens Millpond provide specific points of interest for local history and genealogical research. The naming conventions, featuring labels like Allen Shop Corner, suggest a landscape rooted in long-standing property lines and local landmarks.
