Chesapeake Bay dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the open water at the convergence of three Virginia coastal counties. Located east of the mainland, the map documents the critical navigation route of the Intracoastal Waterway as it passes through the southern portion of the sheet. The absence of landmass highlights the strategic position of these waters, where the boundaries of Mathews, York, and Northampton Counties meet in the bay. This document serves as a precise record of marine jurisdictions and federal water corridors in the early twenty-first century, useful for understanding the offshore limits of the Virginia Peninsula and the Eastern Shore.
