[3] The Pamunkey gets its name from a tribe of Indians famous in the early days of Virginian history but now reduced to a few families living on a reservation situated on the banks of the river near Lester Manor. Mattaponi is a combination name. The Mat and the Ta unite to form Matta Creek. The Matta and the Po unite, and Ny Creek is a tributary to the Po. The waters of these streams unite to form the river, and the names Mat, Ta, Po, and Ny unite to form its name—Mattaponi.

[7] What can be done, however, by photographing obliquely from a high altitude, thereby increasing the area in the field of vision, is illustrated by Figure 54, which encompasses Lake Erie from one shore to the other and, in its representation of the main features of the region, is akin to maps on a relatively small scale, such as 1:1,000,000.
