1981 Map of Cheriton
USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Cape Charles and the surrounding neck lands of the Virginia Eastern Shore dominate this early 1980s topographic-bathymetric study. The map illustrates the fragile coastal geography of the Delmarva Peninsula, where intensive maritime settlement meets protected wilderness. Inland towns like Cheriton, Eastville, and Capeville are connected by a network of roads and the Charles railroad line, while the seaside is defined by isolated hamlets like Oyster. This era highlights a significant commitment to conservation, with expansive tracts designated as the Wreck Island Natural Area, Mockhorn Island Waterfowl Area, and Fishermans Island National Wildlife Refuge.
