USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
Fort Nonsense (Ruins) stands as a landmark of nineteenth-century military history on this peninsula landscape during the World War I era. The map reveals a society deeply tied to the water, where the Mobjack Bay and the York River define the local economy and geography. Steamboat routes are clearly marked, connecting Callis Wharf and Wharf Lane School to broader Chesapeake trade.
