About this map

Putneys Mill and Tunstall highlight the historical landscape of New Kent and King William counties, where the Pamunkey River serves as a natural boundary winding between river bars like Ringer Bar and Gregory Bar. This coastal plain environment is defined by its extensive wetland systems, including Saint Peters Swamp, Pelham Swamp, and Rumley Marsh, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns and agricultural drainage of the region.

The presence of several family-named estates and crossroads, such as Elsing Green, Poplar Grove, and Browns Corner, indicates a legacy of rural landholdings and small community hubs centered around water and road access. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specifically marked burial grounds like Saint Peters Cem and Liberty Hall Cem, alongside remnant infrastructure like Tunstall Station RD, which hints at the area's older rail connections and commerce.
