1965 Map of Achilles

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mobjack Bay and the York River define this intricate coastal landscape, where the Virginia Peninsula meets the Chesapeake Bay's interconnected estuaries. In the mid-1960s, the area remained a network of water-dependent landings and family-named necks, including Robins Neck and Saddlers Neck. The presence of Roanes Wharf and Severn Wharf speaks to a lingering maritime economy, while inland clusters like Achilles and Bena serve as centers for the local rural community.
