About this map

The intricate shoreline of the Northern Neck is defined by deep tidal inlets like Dividing Creek and Indian Creek, where the land fractures into narrow points and necks. Centered on the eastern edge of Kilmarnock, the map documents a landscape of coastal settlements and family estates that have persisted for generations. This 2019 survey illustrates the dense concentration of waterfront geography including Fleets Bay Neck and Antipoison Neck, showing how modern residential development has integrated with traditional locales like Ditchley and Lynhams.

Small communities such as Good Luck and Foxwells sit alongside maritime features like Longbranch Airport, highlighting the region's mix of private aviation and deep-water access. From the northern reaches of Hughletts Neck down to the marshy expanse of Fleets Island, the map traces the convergence of Lancaster Co and Northumberland Co boundaries through a labyrinth of coves and prongs, providing a modern record of one of Virginia's most distinct estuarine environments.
