About this map

The James River dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a dividing line between Isle Of Wight Co and the bustling developments of Newport News. To the south, the town of Smithfield and Mogarts Beach anchor the shoreline, with Aberdeen Field providing a notable landmark near Days Point. The marshy reaches of Mulberry Island and Swash Hole Island illustrate the complex estuarine environment where Morrisons Creek meets the open water.

Across the river, the suburban growth of the Virginia Peninsula is evident in a dense network of neighborhoods like Warwick Lawns, Menchville, and Hidenwood. Local history is preserved at the Warwick River Mennonite Cem near Shore Park, while the hydrology of the area is defined by Lukas Creek and the Sluice Millpond. This map documents a modern mix of residential expansion and preserved coastal marshes in the Tidewater region.
