The Chesapeake Bay dominates this coastal perspective east of the Virginia Peninsula, where several prominent municipal jurisdictions converge. The map documents a maritime crossroads centered on the Thimble Shoal and the northern reaches of the Intracoastal Waterway. The terrain is characterized by submerged features such as the Horseshoe, while the boundaries of Poquoson, Hampton, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach meet in the open water. This 2022 survey illustrates the administrative complexity of these coastal waters, serving as a record of the nautical divisions between the Lower Peninsula and the Tidewater region.
