About this map

Mattaponi River tides and expansive wetland systems define the landscape of King and Queen County, where the river meets the Gleason Marsh near Davis Beach. This modern topographic study reveals a rural network of historic crossroads and swamp-side settlements connected by The Trail. The interior is characterized by dense drainage basins, including the winding Exol Swamp and Dragon Swamp, which historically influenced the placement of early communities like Dragonville and Truhart.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as Exol Cem and the waters of Allens Millpond. The map clearly illustrates the transition from high-ground ridges along Mt Zion Rd to the low-lying reaches of Plymouth Swamp near Little Plymouth. The intricate road system, from Courthouse Rd to the various farm lanes, reflects the enduring rural character and historical land-use patterns of the Virginia Tidewater region.
