About this map

The Accomack County Courthouse stands at the center of this Eastern Shore landscape, surrounded by the historic towns and navigable waterways of Virginia's Atlantic side. Modern infrastructure like the Onley Airport and highway corridors connect established settlements including Accomac, Onley, and Melfa. The geography is defined by its relation to the water, with Little Annemessex River and Chesconessex Cr cutting inland, while tidal features like Burtons Bay and Custis Neck mark the transition toward the barrier islands.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous burial sites such as Holly Cem, Fairlawn Cem, and the Allen Family Cem. The layout of the region reveals a transition from the busier residential and commercial areas of Onancock to the more rural, spread-out communities like Locustville and Chancetown. Small landmarks such as Johnson Field and Graysville further ground the map in the everyday life of Accomack County.
