1953 Map of Walkers

About this map

The Chickahominy River defines the southern portion of this mid-century survey, its wide marshy reaches marked by Binns Bar and Matahunk Neck. In the early 1950s, the rural life of this Tidewater region centered on a series of small, rail-side communities like Walkers and Windsor Shades (Boulevard PO), where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad line parallels the Pocahontas Trail. The map documents a spiritual and civic landscape through numerous rural institutions, including Tsena Commoko Ch, Ebenezer Ch, and the Lanexa Sch.
