1917 Map of Urbanna

About this map

Urbanna and Saluda serve as the primary hubs on this coastal survey, which details the intricate landscape of the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck during the late First World War era. The broad Rappahannock River dominates the center, flanked by numerous family-named points like Smoky Pt and Towles Pt. Inland, the map reveals a dense network of social infrastructure, including Church View, Royal Oak School, and St Andrews Church, illustrating the scattered nature of rural communities before the onset of modern highway consolidation.
