1964 Map of Deltaville

About this map

Stingray Point and the narrow peninsula of Stovepoint Neck define this maritime landscape where the Rappahannock River and Piankatank River meet the Chesapeake Bay. The map documents a coastal community deeply tied to its waterways, centered on the settlement of Deltaville. Dense hydrographic data reveals the shifting shoals of the Spit and the bathymetry of Fishing Bay, providing a detailed look at the underwater topography as it existed in the mid-1960s.
