Some Characteristics
The total area of the Chickahominy River Watershed is about 179 407.8 square miles or about 261,000 acres. Starting just northwest of Quinton Richmond, Va the watershed empties into the James River. The highest point of elevation I could find is around the Quinton area with an elevation of 152 feet above sea level. Where the watershed empties into the James River the elevation is about 5 feet below sea level. The watershed contains multiple bodies of water that include the Chickahominy River, the Little Creek Reservoir, the Diascund Creek Reservoir, Old Forge Pond, Kent Lake, the Toe Ink Swamp and Tom Brooks Lake. The map I originally drew did not encompass the entire watershed. Updated information from: https://www.deq.virginia.gov/Portals/0/DEQ/ConnectWithDEQ/EnvironmentalInformation/VirginiaNaturally/k12ed/FactSheets.pdf shows a much larger watershed than I had drawn.
