About this map

The Mattaponi River system forms the backbone of this Caroline County landscape, where the Matta River, Pony River, and South River converge to create a complex network of wetlands and tributaries. The late 1960s environment is marked by small rural nodes like Woodford, Milford, and Paige, alongside specialized sites such as Old Grays Millpond and Burkes Shop. The eastern edge is defined by the significant footprint of the A P Hill Military Reservation, while the Richmond Fredericksburg and Potomac rail line facilitates transportation through the region.

Local history is preserved in the location of several country churches and schools, including Lebanon Tabernacle, St Johns Ch, and the Madison Sch. Small family-named landmarks and cemeteries like the Old Wright Cem provide essential data for genealogists tracing the community's development. Scattered gravel pits throughout the quadrangle suggest the importance of local extraction industries alongside traditional agriculture.
