1986 Map of East of Poquoson East

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this bathymetric study, revealing the complex underwater topography of the Virginia coast. Compiled by the National Ocean Service from tide-coordinated hydrographic surveys, the map provides detailed depth gradients for the waters east of York County. A notable maritime feature is the Spoil Area Discontinued located in the southern portion of the sheet, marking a zone where sediment disposal from dredging operations has ceased. The contour lines and depth intervals illustrate the submerged landscape of the bay floor, providing a specialized look at the navigable waters and shoals in this coastal region during the mid-1980s.
