1906 Map of Williamsburg

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

The York River dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a vital corridor for the Steamboat Route that linked Tidewater communities like Capahosic and Claybank. Along its banks, the map reveals layers of colonial and military history, from the Powhatans House Ruins near Wicomico to the Williamsburg Battlefield and Fort Magruder Ruins on the outskirts of Williamsburg. The map documents a period when maritime commerce and agriculture were the primary drivers of the local economy, evidenced by numerous landings such as Miller Ldg and Gun Ldg along Poropotank Creek.
