The Saltworks sits at the head of a small inlet on Occohannock Creek, marking a landscape where the Eastern Shore's tidal fingers deeply penetrate the interior of Northampton County. This coastal geography defines the region, with long peninsulas like Occohannock Neck and Old Town Neck reaching into the Chesapeake Bay. The map reveals a settlement pattern tied to both the water and the central transit corridor, where communities like Franktown and Machipongo align with the inland road and rail networks.
