2011 Map of Achilles

About this map

Guinea and the low-lying peninsula between the Severn River and the York River define this coastal landscape at the southern end of Gloucester County. The region's deep ties to the water are evident in the density of landings and wharves, such as Roanes Wharf on the Ware River and Kings Landing near the Perrin River. The interior is dotted with established family and community landmarks, including Oak Grove Cemetery and Old Groves Memorial Cemetery, alongside small crossroads like Achilles, Bena, and Naxera. This maritime character extends to the numerous necks and points, from Ware Neck Point in the north down to Gloucester Banks. Local infrastructure is anchored by several rural post offices and small-scale aviation at Hoffmans Farm Airport, reflecting a community where river-based commerce and overland travel intersect.
