1968 Map of Elliotts Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Tomb of Custis stands as a significant historical landmark along the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, marking the site of the ancestral Arlington estate in Northampton County. This coastal landscape is defined by its intricate water systems, where Old Plantation Creek and Elliotts Creek wind through the marshes toward the bay. The map provides a detailed study of the shoreline as it appeared in the late 1960s, featuring numerous freshwater bodies like Costin Pond, Dixons Pond, and Allegood Pond. Beyond the immediate coastline, bathymetric data reveals the complex underwater topography of the Cherrystone Channel and the shallow Old Plantation Flats, highlighting the navigational challenges of the Virginia peninsula. To the south, the deep waters of the North Channel and the shifting Latimer Shoal indicate the active maritime environment of the lower bay.
