The Rappahannock River dominates this coastal landscape, serving as the physical and political boundary between Richmond, Essex, Middlesex, and Lancaster counties. Small waterfront communities such as Sharps, Morattico, and Simonson are established along the intricate shoreline, defined by numerous points and bays like Tarpley Point and McKans Bay. The interior is characterized by a network of creeks and swamps, including Richardson Creek and Laton Swamp, which influence the local road patterns.
