About this map

Wakefield National Park and the Wakefield Washington Monument anchor this coastal landscape along the southern bank of the Potomac River. The terrain is defined by a series of deep inlets and creeks, including Monroe Creek and Popes Creek, which carved the bluffs of Westmoreland County. The map reveals a rural economy centered on small crossroads settlements and landings such as Massey Whf and Stave Ldg, reflecting a era when water-based transport remained vital to the Northern Neck.
