1965 Map of Achilles

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.
