About this map

Old Plantation Flats Lighthouse stands as a lonely sentinel amidst the vast expanse of the Chesapeake Bay, marking a critical navigation point for maritime traffic in the early 1940s. This survey of the Virginia coastline in Northampton County reveals a landscape defined by its intimate connection to the water, where the terrestrial edge is fragmented by tidal inlets and marshy basins. The mapping shows established navigational aids like the Cape Charles City Rear Light and Cape Charles City Front Light, which guided vessels safely toward harbor.
