The confluence of the Mattaponi River and the Pamunkey River forms the headwaters of the York River at West Point, a strategic tidewater location defined by its peninsula geography. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense residential and industrial grid of West Point and its northern neighbor Port Richmond, connected to the southern shore by the Lord Delaware Bridge and Eltham Bridge. The surrounding landscape is characterized by extensive wetlands and named reaches such as Thorofare and Glass Island, with outlying settlements like Eltham, Mattaponi, and Shanghai dotting the primary road corridors.
