About this map

Temperanceville and Hallwood anchor this detailed study of Virginia's Eastern Shore, where a network of small agricultural and residential centers is linked by the Lankford Hwy. The landscape is defined by the winding tributaries of the Pocomoke River, including Pitts Creek and Bullbegger Creek, which carve through the flat coastal plain. Rural life is evidenced by numerous local post offices such as New Church Post Office and Withams Post Office, alongside the aviation history represented by Sawyer Stolport, High Hopes Airport, and Taylor Airport.

Further south, the map details the Makemie Park area and the community of Atlantic, located near the headwaters of Assawoman Creek. The intricate drainage patterns of Tunnels Mill Branch and Holdens Creek reveal the historical importance of water management for the surrounding farmland. Genealogists will find interest in Greenwood Cemetery and named crossings like Messongo Bridge and Jenkins Bridge, which provide specific points of reference for tracing family roots in Accomack County.
