2016 Map of East of Poquoson East

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this maritime survey, illustrating the open water environment east of the Virginia Peninsula. The map is defined by the submerged boundary intersection of York Co and Northampton Co, marking a administrative divide that persists across the bay's floor. Navigational history is represented by the path of the Intracoastal Waterway, a vital corridor for shipping and recreation that connects the Mid-Atlantic coast. While the map is devoid of land-based structures, it captures the essential hydrographic character of the region during the early twenty-first century. This data provides a precise record of the jurisdictional limits and established maritime routes used by the U.S. Geological Survey to define the coastal waters between Poquoson and the Eastern Shore.
