1968 Map of Fishermans Island

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Cape Charles marks the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula in this 1968 study, where the Atlantic meets the Chesapeake Bay. The map highlights the strategic and ecological transition at Wise Point, featuring the Cape Charles Air Force Station and the sprawling Fishermans Island National Wildlife Refuge. The engineering of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel (Toll) dominates the western shore, connecting the peninsula southward across the North Channel. Maritime features like Nautilus Shoal and the Inside Passage reveal the complex hydrography of Fishermans Inlet and Magothy Bay. Farther east, the barrier landscape of Smith Island and Adams Island stands against the Atlantic Ocean, showing a coastline defined by tidal flats and shifting inlets like Smith Island Inlet.
