1983 Map of Achilles

About this map

The tidal necks of the Virginia Peninsula define this 1980s landscape, where the Ware River, Severn River, and York River carve deep into the Gloucester County coastline. Settlement is concentrated along the higher ground of Robins Neck and Guinea Neck, connected by a network of local roads leading to community hubs like Achilles, Bena, and Glass. The maritime character of the era is evident in the numerous maritime landmarks, from the Roues Wharf on the Ware River to Severn Wharf and the riverside communities of Gloucester Point and Gloucester Banks.
