1935 Map of Accomac
USGS Topo · Published 1935About this map
Accomac serves as the inland anchor for this coastal survey of Virginia's Eastern Shore, where the landscape transitions from established farmland to a complex network of barrier islands and salt marshes. The Pennsylvania Railroad bisects the mainland, connecting agricultural depots like Onley, Tasley, and Melfa to wider markets. Along the Atlantic front, the map documents a maritime culture guarded by Coast Guard stations at Metomkin Inlet, Wachapreague, and Parramore Beach. Between the mainland and the shifting sands of Cedar Island and Parramore Island, an intricate system of waterways—including Metomkin Bay, Floyds Bay, and the Hummock Channel—illustrates the tidal geography vital to local oystermen and sailors. Inland life is centered around rural gatherings at Oak Grove Chapel and the Keller Fairgrounds.
