1942 Map of Great Machipongo Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Cobb Island sits as a narrow barrier between the marshes of Northampton County and the open Atlantic Ocean in this coastal survey. Compiled in part from 1942 aerial photography, the map documents the precarious geography of Virginia’s Eastern Shore during the early 1940s. A specialized infrastructure of maritime communication and safety is evident, including a Submerged Cable and a Telephone Line that cross the shifting dunes and tidal waters.
