2019 Map of Hallwood

About this map

Accomack County and its border with Maryland's Worcester County and Somerset County define this coastal landscape on the Delmarva Peninsula. The terrain is characterized by a network of tidal creeks and drainage branches, including Assawoman Creek and Bullbegger Creek, which feed into the Chesapeake Bay. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between these waterways, with historic communities like Temperanceville, Hallwood, and Atlantic serving as hubs for the surrounding agricultural lands. Notable local landmarks include several small airfields such as Sawyer Airport and High Hopes Airport, as well as religious centers like the Atlantic Baptist Church. The map reveals the intricate connection between land and water in this region, where roads like Chincoteague Road bridge the gap between inland settlements and the marshy coast, highlighting a rural economy shaped by both farming and maritime proximity.
