1968 Map of Fishermans Island

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Cape Charles Air Force Station and the surrounding coastal waters of the Delmarva Peninsula anchor this late 1960s survey. The map details the southern terminus of the Virginia shoreline at Wise Point, where land gives way to a complex system of inlets and barrier islands. Central to the sheet is the Fishermans Island National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses Fishermans Island and the smaller Adams Island. Evidence of coastal settlement is visible at The Isaacs, while the maritime environment is defined by extensive tidal flats and navigational hazards like Nautilus Shoal. Hydrographic data reveals the depth and character of the North Channel and the Inside Passage, essential routes where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. The presence of Smith Island to the east, with its expansive Smith Island Beach, highlights the dynamic nature of this tidewater landscape.
