About this map

The Chickahominy River meanders through the heart of this coastal Virginia landscape, defining the boundary between New Kent and Charles City counties. The mid-1960s environment is marked by a complex network of wetlands including Turkey Swamp and Big Swamp, as well as the significant Diascund Creek Reservoir. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad cuts a straight line through the lower portion of the sheet, connecting small settlements like Walkers and Windsor Shades.

Cultural landmarks are concentrated along the rail and river corridors, where several country churches such as Tsena Commoko Ch and Ebenezer Ch serve local communities. Water-based transport history is evident in the numerous landings along the Chickahominy, including Osborn Landing, Cypress Bank Landing, and Graves Landing. Further north, the emergence of Interstate 64 signals a shift in the region's transportation infrastructure as it bypasses older crossroads like Slaterville.
