1968 Map of Cobb Island

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Cobb Island and the shifting barrier landscapes of the Virginia Eastern Shore are documented here in the late 1960s. This coastal environment is defined by an intricate network of deep-water routes like Eckichy Channel and Mittigy Channel cutting through expansive tidal flats and salt marshes. The map reveals the isolation of the outer banks, where Wreck Island stands exposed to the Atlantic Ocean south of the Sand Shoal Inlet.
