1986 Map of East of Fleets Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Chesapeake Bay waters dominate this bathymetric study, revealing the underwater topography east of Fleets Bay during the mid-1980s. A prominent Disposal Area occupies the central portion of the sheet, marked by artificial relief that contrasts with the surrounding natural depths. Near the southeastern corner, a deeper Channel provides a glimpse into the maritime pathways used by vessels navigating these coastal Virginia waters. Compiled by the National Ocean Service and the Geological Survey, the map utilizes tide-coordinated hydrographic surveys to chart the floor of the bay, providing essential data on submerged terrain and sediment management sites for the period.
