About this map

The Rappahannock River serves as the central divide of this coastal Virginia landscape, splitting the terrain between Lancaster Co and Middlesex Co. On the western bank, the town of Urbanna sits as a primary hub of settlement, flanked by the waters of Urbanna Creek and the historical site of Rosegill Lake. Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks nearby, including the Middlesex Memorial Cem and the Arthur Lee Family Cem.

Across the water to the east, the neck lands of the Northern Neck are defined by smaller communities such as Monaskon, Mollusk, and Ottoman. The geography is deeply maritime, shaped by intricate tidal features like Weeks Flats, Corrotoman Neck, and Rogues Hole. Cultural heritage is anchored by sites like Saint Marys Whitechapel Cem and the naming of Ottoman Ferry Rd, suggesting the historical transportation patterns that once linked these isolated points by water.
