2011 Map of Cape Charles

About this map

The town of Cape Charles anchors this coastal survey, situated on the Delmarva Peninsula's southern edge where it meets the Chesapeake Bay. The map highlights the town's dense street grid and critical maritime infrastructure, including the Cape Charles Post Office and the protective North Jetty Light at the harbor entrance. Navigational markers like Cherrystone Bar Light and Cherrystone Channel Light 13 delineate the safe passage for vessels through the Cape Charles Harbor Channel. Beyond the town center, the landscape transitions into a series of inlets and points. Local geography is defined by family-named landmarks such as Savage Neck and Wescoat Point, alongside smaller settlements like Owens Landing. Water bodies like Cherrystone Inlet, Mill Creek, and Kings Creek carve into the shoreline, creating a complex interface of land and sea that has long supported the region's maritime economy.
