About this map

The Pamunkey Indian Reservation occupies a prominent bend in the Pamunkey River on this mid-1960s survey of New Kent and King William counties. The landscape is defined by the winding river and its extensive tidal flats, including Little Island and Matton Island. Transportation and commerce are centered around the Southern railroad line, which connects several local hubs including Tunstall Station and the historic river landing at White House.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from rural industrial sites like Putneys Mill and Crumps Mill to established community anchors such as St Peters Ch and Rising Mt Zion Ch. The map details various family-named settlements like Browns Corner and Carps Corner, alongside distinct local place names like Criss Cross. Dense marshlands such as Rumley Marsh and Clopton Swamp fill the lowlands between the high ground of the interior and the river's edge.
