1942 Map of Nandua Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Hacks Neck dominates the eastern margin of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape of Accomack County meets the expanse of the Chesapeake Bay. Mapped for the Army Map Service during the second World War, the sheet focuses on the intricate waterlogged geography of the Eastern Shore, highlighting the narrow inlets of Butcher Creek and Nandua Creek. Navigation in these shallow tidal waters is marked by the Pungoteague Creek Light, a critical landmark for mariners entering the bay from the various creeks. The interior of the neck shows a patchwork of forest and cleared land, with localized landmarks like The Sandhill and Milbys Pt providing reference points for researchers studying the mid-century shoreline before modern coastal changes altered the periphery of Back Creek.
