2011 Map of Nandua Creek

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this coastal landscape, illustrating the intricate shoreline of Virginia's Eastern Shore. The settlement at Hacks Neck represents the primary terrestrial focus on this sheet, situated on a peninsula defined by tidal waterways. These aquatic arteries, including Nandua Creek, Butcher Creek, and Back Creek, cut into the land to create a series of points and necks typical of the region's geography. At the southern edge of the terrestrial portion, Milbys Point marks the transition between the marshy estuary and the open bay. The map reflects a modern moment in time where the traditional maritime-dependent patterns of the Eastern Shore are preserved through local road networks and the naming of these specific inlets and points.
