1968 Map of Cobb Island

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Cobb Island and Wreck Island stand as prominent barrier landforms along this stretch of the Virginia coastline, shielding a complex network of marshes and tidal flats from the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by its labyrinthine waterways, where major passages like Ramshorn Channel and Eckichy Channel facilitate movement through the shallow coastal bays. This survey captures the intricate geography of the Eastern Shore's salt marshes, including the uniquely named Parchaby Tump and the expansive Man and Boy Marsh. To the southwest, the Mockhorn Island State Wildlife Management Area covers a significant portion of the protected wetlands. The map details the dynamic nature of these shoals and inlets, such as Sand Shoal Channel, which serve as critical conduits between Hog Island Bay and the open ocean.
