2016 Map of Hallwood

About this map

Accomack Co and the Maryland border define this coastal Virginia landscape, where small crossroads communities and rural family-named roads are intertwined with the marshy tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. The region's history is visible in the distribution of settlements like New Church, Temperanceville, and Hallwood, which sit along the primary north-south corridor. Smaller hamlets such as Tunnels Mill and Bullbegger suggest an earlier era of local industry and agriculture near the many branches of Pitts Creek and Holdens Creek. This 2016 survey documents the enduring local landmarks of the peninsula, including the Atlantic Baptist Church Cem and the Greenwood Cem. The presence of multiple small landing strips, like Sawyer Airport and High Hopes Airport, highlights the modern aviation character of this relatively flat terrain near the Atlantic coastline.
