2011 Map of Walkers

About this map

Lanexa and the nearby settlement of Walkers sit at the heart of this landscape, where the tides of the Chickahominy River meet a complex network of landings and peninsulas. The area is defined by its water-dependent geography, featuring several historical access points such as Osborn Landing, Graves Landing, and the curiously named Fish Hole Landing. To the north and east, the large Diascund Creek Reservoir dominates the drainage basin, contrasted by the dense wetlands of Big Swamp and Tonyham Swamp. Notable land features include Matahunk Neck and Turner Neck, which reach into the river's winding course. This era shows a mix of rural residential development and conservation, with several named outposts and landings that suggest a long history of fishing and river commerce along this stretch of the Virginia Peninsula.
