About this map

Chickahominy River winding through the coastal plain defines the geography of this Tidewater region, where the river's broad bends create prominent landforms like Matahunk Neck, Turner Neck, and Wilcox Neck. The landscape is a complex network of waterways, including the substantial Diascund Reservoir and its namesake Diascund Cr, which flows south toward the Diascund Bridge.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around historic rural hubs such as Lanexa and Walkers, alongside newer waterfront communities like Chickahominy Shores. The map captures the transition from upland ridges near Slaterville to the low-lying wetlands of Big Swamp and Toanohoan Swamp, illustrating how the drainage of the Peninsula has historically dictated road placement and community development in this part of New Kent and James City counties.
