2013 Map of Burgess

About this map

The Little Wicomico River winds through the Northern Neck of Virginia as it opens into the Chesapeake Bay, defining a landscape of deep-water coves and historical landings. This 2013 survey of the area near Burgess and Jetts Store highlights the intricate shoreline where the Potomac River meets the bay. Small airports and airparks, such as Serenity Farm Airport and Jett Airpark, reflect the modern accessibility of these waterfront necks, while the Sunnybank Ferry continues to provide essential transit across the river near Bridge Neck. Settlements like Ophelia and Gonyon are connected by a network of local routes including Hacks Neck Rd and Ferry Rd. Numerous points and beaches, from Vir-Mar Beach to Flood Point, show the continued importance of the maritime environment to the local community's geography and heritage.
