1968 Map of Metomkin Inlet

About this map

Metomkin Bay and the barrier islands of Accomack County define this coastal landscape, where complex tidal systems separate the mainland necks from the open Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals a series of prominent peninsulas including Parker Neck, Baylys Neck, and Joynes Neck, which are subdivided by deep-reaching waterways like North Fork Parker Creek and Folly Creek. Small rural settlements such as Parker, Walston, and Joynes are linked by a network of state routes, while the shoreline itself remains a maze of marshes and channels.
