2011 Map of Fishermans Island

About this map

Cape Charles and the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula meet the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay in this coastal survey. The landscape is defined by its maritime navigation and infrastructure, anchored by the Cape Charles Lighthouse on Smith Island and the Fishermans Island Light positioned to the west. This area serves as a critical transition for travelers and maritime traffic, featuring the Fishermans Inlet Bridge which spans the waters near Wise Point. The map details the shifting landforms of the barrier islands, including the marshy reaches of Fishermans Island, Adams Island, and the small coastal feature known as The Isaacs. This geography illustrates the intricate relationship between the protected waters of Magothy Bay and the open North Channel, providing an essential view of the Virginia coastline’s modern environmental and navigational state.
