USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Occohannock Creek and the intricate fingers of the Chesapeake Bay define the landscape of this 1943 War Department survey of Northampton County. The map details a maritime and agricultural economy deeply rooted in its geography, where narrow necks of land like Church Neck and Nassawadox Neck reach into the water. Settlement is clustered along the Pennsylvania railroad line and the traditional Bay Side Road, connecting communities like Machipongo, Birdsnest, and Bridgetown.
