2019 Map of Cheriton

About this map

Northampton County Courthouse serves as a central anchor for the town of Eastville, illustrating the long-standing civic history of this coastal Virginia region. The landscape is defined by its intricate shoreline of necks and bays, where Savage Neck and Eyreville Neck reach into the Chesapeake Bay. Numerous small settlements such as Stumptown, Pat Town, and James Crossroads are scattered along the inland road network, often centered around family-named landmarks like Drummonds Millpond. The map reveals a high concentration of cemeteries, including Holland Cem and Whitehead Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. Along the eastern shore, the geography shifts to a complex network of marshes and tidal channels, such as Mockhorn Channel and Narrow Channel Br, protecting the interior from the Atlantic.
