2010 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

Williamsburg and its surrounding historic landscapes are detailed in this 2010 survey, reflecting the intersection of colonial preservation and modern development. The map prominently features the academic and civic core, including the College Yard, the Governors Palace, and the Bruton Parish Churchyard. Beyond the restored district, the geography reveals a complex network of waterways and early industrial sites like Bigler Mill and the Waller Mill Reservoir. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family burial grounds, such as the Jones Family Cemetery and Galt Family Cemetery. The landscape is also shaped by its military and colonial heritage, from the Williamsburg Battlefield in the east to the Colonial National Historic Pkwy winding through the terrain. Significant water features like Matoaka Lake and the York River define the natural boundaries of the area.
