About this map

Coastal Virginia's intricate salt marshes and agricultural lands dominate this 1942 survey of the Eastern Shore. The Pennsylvania railroad corridor serves as the primary spine for human activity, connecting the central settlements of Nassawadox, Weirwood, and Middletown. To the east, the landscape dissolves into the tidal environment of Hog Island Bay, where extensive wetlands like Crabbing Marsh and Short Prong Marsh provide a glimpse into the historic maritime economy of Northampton County.
