1968 Map of Nassawadox

About this map

The coastal hamlets of Virginia's Eastern Shore center around Nassawadox and the Penn Central rail line in this late-1960s survey. The landscape is defined by the transition from upland farming communities like Hare Valley and Middletown to the intricate salt marshes and tidal flats of Hog Island Bay. This map documents a traditional maritime and agricultural economy, where small settlements like Weirwood and Marionville sit just inland from the complex network of guts and creeks.
