1968 Map of East of Reedville

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this bathymetric study, revealing the complex underwater topography of the shipping channels and shoals along the Northern Neck. While the majority of the map focuses on the deep waters and shelf of the bay, the western margin provides a detailed look at the interface between land and sea at Chesapeake Beach. This shoreline is characterized by narrow inlets and protected coastal water bodies like Gaskin Pond and Owens Pond, which are separated from the open bay by thin barrier strips. Local history is anchored at the northern edge by a small Cem near Rock Hole, marking a legacy of maritime settlement in Northumberland County. The detailed bathymetric contouring illustrates how the bay's floor drops away from the coastline, a vital perspective for understanding the historic navigation of these Virginia waters.
