About this map

The Mattaponi River and its various tributaries, including the South River and Matta River, define the landscape of this Caroline County region. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of settlements like Woodford, Paige, and Milford, where historical road networks such as the Fredericksburg Tpke still serve as primary corridors. The map provides significant genealogical value through its marking of local interment sites, including Wright's Burying Ground Cem, Bethel Cem, and the Third Mount Zion Church Cem.

Land use remains largely agricultural and residential, punctuated by unique landmarks like the Woodford Airpark. The presence of Old Grays Millpond and Coleman Pond alongside extensive wetlands like Hobby Swamp and Reedy Swamp reflects the area's complex hydrology. This document is an essential resource for tracing local family roots and the evolution of small Virginia communities along the upper reaches of the Mattaponi river system.
