About this map

Guinea Neck and the intricate peninsulas of Gloucester County are captured here in the years following the Second World War. The landscape is defined by its maritime reliance, centered on the Severn River and the sweeping waters of Mobjack Bay. Small waterfront settlements like Achilles, Maryus, and Bena are linked by winding roads that terminate at local landmarks like Severn Wharf and Roanes Wharf. The importance of the coastal economy is evident through the numerous lights and beacons, including the Severn River Lt and Perrin River Entrance Lt, which guided vessel traffic through the complex estuaries.
