Cobb Island and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Northampton County dominate this maritime survey of the Eastern Shore. The landscape is defined by a complex network of tidal waterways and salt marshes, including Eckichy Marsh and Man and Boy Marsh, which illustrate the dynamic nature of the Virginia coastline. These marshes are separated by deep-water passages such as Eckichy Channel and Mittigy Channel, reflecting a terrain shaped entirely by the Atlantic's ebb and flow.
