About this map

The Pamunkey River winds along the northern boundary of this New Kent County landscape, defining the border with King William County. This tidewater region is characterized by extensive wetlands and meandering waterways, including the broad Dickerson Swamp, Saint Peters Swamp, and the intricate Rumley Marsh. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between these drainages, with established crossroads such as Tallysville and Quinton serving as local hubs.

Historically significant landmarks like Saint Peters Cem and Liberty Hall Cem are documented alongside earlier industrial sites such as Crumps Mill and Putneys Mill. The river's influence is evident in the named bars and islands, including Ringer Bar and Big Island, which have long dictated navigation and land use. Modern infrastructure, such as the New Kent County Airport, sits in proximity to these older rural reaches, illustrating the layered development of the Virginia peninsula.
