1968 Map of Cobb Island

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Cobb Island and Wreck Island stand as prominent barriers against the Atlantic Ocean in this coastal survey of Northampton County. The map details a complex hydrologic network of tidal flats and marshes, including Man and Boy Marsh and Big Easter Marsh, which are separated by deep-water passages such as the Mittigy Channel and Eckichy Channel. This environment is shaped by shifting sands and seasonal tides, where landforms like Parchaby Tump and Little Cobb Island offer small points of elevation above the water. To the west, the Mockhorn Island State Wildlife Management Area encompasses Mockhorn Island, preserving a significant portion of this fragile ecosystem. The intricate labeling of minor features like Sunday Ditch and Black Perch Cr provides a specialized look at the navigation routes and coastal landmarks used by mariners and locals before later 20th-century environmental changes.
