1968 Map of Chesconessex

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

Pocomoke Sound and the northern reaches of the Chesapeake Bay dominate this coastal landscape, revealing the intricate bathymetry of the Virginia Eastern Shore. The map details a complex network of marshes and tidal guts, such as Back Way Gut and Canoe Island Gut, which separate small landmasses like Tobacco Island and Savage Island. The settlement of Chesconessex serves as the primary landward anchor, where the terrestrial world meets the salt marsh and shallow flats. Notable for local history and genealogy, the map identifies specific community landmarks including Leatherbury Ch and New Testament Ch. The inclusion of the Factory Boat Ramp and numerous Light markers across the Guilford Flats underscores the area's deep-rooted reliance on maritime navigation and the seasonal rhythms of the bay's seafood industry.
