1942 Map of Little Machipongo Inlet

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Hog Island and its neighbor Parramore Island define this 1942 coastal study of Virginia's Eastern Shore. The settlement of Broadwater is visible on the southern end of the barrier island chain, situated near a small Cem and a lighthouse, illustrating the fragile human presence on these shifting sands. This survey, conducted during the early 1940s via aerial photography and planetable methods, captures the intricate web of tidal guts and estuaries like Hodges Narrows and Shorter Channel that separate the islands from the mainland marshes.
