1968 Map of Chesconessex
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Pocomoke Sound and the Chesapeake Bay meet at this intricate section of the Virginia shoreline in the late 1960s. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and islands, including the expansive Big Marsh and the aptly named Tobacco Island. Narrow waterways such as The Thorofare and Bad Gut carve through the tidal flats, illustrating the difficult maritime navigation of the era. On firmer ground, the small settlement of Chesconessex serves as a local hub near the mouth of Chesconessex Creek.
