1986 Map of East of Hampton

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Chesapeake Bay bathymetry dominates this 1980s nautical survey, revealing the complex underwater topography of the Virginia coastline. The map focuses heavily on the submerged landscape of the Horseshoe and the deeper navigation channels of Thimble Shoal. Unlike typical topographic maps, this bathymetric study emphasizes the depth gradients and contours of the seabed as compiled by the National Ocean Service. It highlights the human impact on the marine environment through the labeling of a Spoil Area Discontinued and a Disposal Area Discontinued, indicating shifts in maritime waste management and dredging practices. This chart is a specialized look at the maritime gateway to the Hampton Roads region during the late twentieth century.
