1942 Map of Mappsville
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The coastal plains of Accomack County during the early 1940s are defined here by a series of agricultural necks and narrow saltwater inlets. The Pennsylvania railroad line serves as the primary spine for settlement, connecting inland hamlets like Bloxom and Mears Station to the broader regional economy. Family-named landmarks such as Whites Neck, Gargathy Neck, and Parker Neck stretch toward the Atlantic, separated by the waters of Gargathy Bay and Kegotank Bay. These low-lying areas reflect a landscape shaped by traditional water-access boundaries and small-scale farming.
