2016 Map of Walkers

About this map

Lanexa and the surrounding riverfront settlements of New Kent County are defined by the winding course of the Chickahominy River as it meets the borders of Charles City and James City counties. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate peninsula topography of the region, including Matahunk Neck, Wilcox Neck, and Turner Neck, which reach into the river's broad channel. The landscape is a transition between the managed waters of the Diascund Reservoir and the expansive wetlands of Timber Swamp and Big Swamp. Small inland communities such as Walkers and Slaterville are connected by historical thoroughfares like Pocahontas Trl, while the river's edge is dotted with specific landmarks like Binns Bar and Diascund Bridge. This record illustrates how modern residential developments such as Chickahominy Shores have integrated into the old agricultural and timber-rich tidewater geography of Virginia.
