1944 Map of Exmore
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
Exmore serves as a central hub on Virginia's Eastern Shore during the mid-1940s, situated at the junction of the Pennsylvania railroad and the critical transition between Accomack and Northampton counties. This coastal landscape is defined by its deep maritime connections, with numerous points of access like Cedar View Wharf on Nandua Creek and Miles Wharf on Occahannock Creek supporting the local economy. The interior is a network of small agricultural and rail-dependent settlements including Savage Town, Hadlock, and Mappsburg. Local life is anchored by institutions like the Broadwater School and various rural congregations such as Trinity Ch and Mt Calvary Ch. The map illustrates a developed road system bifurcated by Bay Side Road and Sea Side Road, providing a window into the transportation patterns that linked these isolated bayside and seaside communities before modern expansion.
