1906 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

Rosewell and the surrounding Tidewater estates anchor this early 20th-century survey of the Virginia Peninsula. The York River dominates the landscape, defined by a maritime economy where a Steamboat Route connects landings like Capahosic and Claybank to downstream ports. The map captures deep colonial roots through its labeling of prominent landmarks, including the Church Hill Petsworth Church Ruins, Ware Church, and the site of Powhatans House Ruins along Tinber Neck Creek.
