Urbanna and the surrounding Tidewater landscape are defined by the wide waters of the Rappahannock River and Piankatank River, which dictated the commerce and transportation of the early 20th century. A primary Steamboat Route tracks through the Rappahannock, connecting riverfront points like Buchans Wharf and Long Point to wider markets. Inland, the dense network of wetlands such as Dragon Swamp and Briery Swamp created natural boundaries for the surrounding counties of Middlesex, Gloucester, and King and Queen.
