1965 Map of Achilles

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Robins Neck and Guinea Neck dominate this detailed coastal survey, illustrating the complex shoreline of Gloucester County where the Ware River, Severn River, and Mobjack Bay converge. The landscape is defined by its maritime economy and community life, marked by historic landing points such as Roanes Wharf and Severn Wharf. In the mid-1960s, these peninsula communities remained deeply connected to the water, with small settlements like Achilles, Maryus, and Bena linked by winding roads that trace the higher ground between tidal creeks and expansive wetlands like the Guinea Marshes.
