2016 Map of East of New Point Comfort

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this marine-focused survey, capturing a critical maritime junction where the coastal waters meet Virginia's Eastern Shore. This 2016 edition focuses on the open water and navigational corridors rather than terrestrial settlements, highlighting the complex underwater administrative boundaries that divide the bay. These include the maritime borders of Mathews Co, York Co, and Northampton Co, which converge in the central waters. Near the southeastern corner, a segment of the Intracoastal Waterway is marked, indicating the primary transit route for vessels navigating the Atlantic seaboard. The map is an essential reference for understanding the jurisdictional layout of the bay and the vital shipping lanes that define the region's contemporary maritime economy.
