| King William County includes 286 square miles of flat to gently rolling terrain in Virginia’s Coastal Plain region. The Mattaponi River on the northeast and the Pamunkey River on the southwest provide drainage. The two rivers merge to form the York River at West Point, at the southernmost tip of the county. | ||||
