1943 Map of Franktown
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The labyrinthine shoreline of Northampton County defines this landscape, where the Chesapeake Bay meets a series of deep tidal inlets. The Pennsylvania railroad line acts as a central spine for the region's inland settlements, connecting hubs like Birdsnest, Machipongo, and Shadyside with the industrial infrastructure at Martins Siding. Along the coastal necks, the map reveals a maritime economy transitioning between traditional wharf-side trade and emerging aviation, evidenced by Kellam Field and the historic Hungar Wharf and Taylor Whf.
