2022 Map of Fishermans Island

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Fishermans Island stands as the southernmost tip of the Delmarva Peninsula, marking the threshold between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by its shifting sands and complex coastal hydrography, where the Intracoastal Waterway threads through the North Channel just west of Wise Point. The map illustrates a dynamic barrier island system, including the elongated stretch of Smith Island and Smith Island Beach, separated from the mainland by tidal features like Raccoon Creek and Blackbeards Creek. To the south, the vast expanse of the ocean is broken only by underwater hazards like Nautilus Shoal. The presence of Adams Island and the marshy flats of The Isaacs highlights the delicate, evolving nature of this protected coastal environment at the entrance to Cape Charles.
