2022 Map of East of Fleets Bay

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this open-water survey, showing the maritime boundaries where the Virginia Eastern Shore meets the Northern Neck. The map documents the convergence of three major coastal jurisdictions: Accomack Co, Northumberland Co, and Lancaster Co. This specific area of the bay is a critical maritime corridor, containing a segment of the Intracoastal Waterway used for sheltered navigation along the Atlantic coast. The lack of landmass highlights the importance of precise county line demarcations over the water, which are essential for fishing rights, law enforcement, and regional maritime administration in this portion of the Chesapeake.
