About this map

The Chickahominy River snakes through the tidal marshlands of New Kent and Charles City counties, defining a landscape of deep necks and historic river access. Along its banks, Matahunk Neck and Wilcox Neck dominate the river's winding path, while established riverfront communities like Chickahominy Shores and landings such as Osborn Landing and Fish Hole Landing highlight the region's long-standing connection to the water. The interior is characterized by the expansive Diascund Creek Reservoir, which feeds into the river system near Lanexa.

Transportation and community life center on the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor, which links settlements like Windsor Shades and Walkers. This rail line runs parallel to significant local landmarks, including Tsena Commoko Ch and Rock-A-Hock. The survey captures the mid-20th-century character of this Virginia tidewater region, showing a mix of established churches like Liberty Ch and Good Hope Ch alongside newer infrastructure like the Aqueduct and various pumping stations.
