About this map

The Pamunkey River serves as the central artery for this Virginia landscape, separating King William and New Kent counties. The map captures a river-oriented economy evidenced by a series of landings and crossings, including Old Montague Landing, Lacey Landing, and White House, where the Southern railroad bridge spans the water. To the east, the Pamunkey Indian Reservation occupies a prominent bend in the river, adjacent to Big Island.

Away from the marshes of Dickerson Swamp and St Peters Swamp, the inland geography is defined by small crossroads settlements and community institutions. Significant landmarks for genealogists include St Peters Church, Second Liberty Ch, and the New Kent Training Sch near Tallysville. The presence of industrial remnants like Crumps Mill and Putneys Mill further illustrates the historical agrarian infrastructure of the mid-20th century Tidewater region.
