2022 Map of East of Reedville

About this map

The vast expanse of the Chesapeake Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the maritime borders of the Northern Neck meet the open water. Along the western shoreline, the small residential clusters of Neals Beach and Chesapeake Beach mark the land's edge, offering a look at modern coastal settlement patterns in Northumberland County. This map is primarily a study of hydrography and boundaries, tracing the invisible line between Accomack Co and Northumberland Co as it cuts across the water. Important navigational arteries converge here, including the Intracoastal Waterway and the mouths of the Little Wicomico River, the Great Wicomico River, and the Potomac River. The map provides a clear record of the shoreline and deep-water channels as they existed in the early 2020s, showing how these historic Virginia waterways continue to serve as essential corridors for transit and recreation.
