2016 Map of New Point Comfort

About this map

Chesapeake Bay and Mobjack Bay define the peninsular character of this coastal Virginia landscape. The geography is marked by numerous family-named burial sites and small settlements including Bavon, Shadow, and Susan. Small hamlets are concentrated on the narrow necks of land between tidal inlets like Horn Harbor. The density of specific family markers, such as the Hudgins Burial Ground, Armistead Burial Ground, and Jarvis Burial Ground, provides significant value for genealogical research in this part of Mathews County. The southern tip terminates at New Point Comfort, while the western edge reaches the Guinea Marshes and Big Island. Local infrastructure is characterized by winding coastal roads like Bayside Dr and Hunts Rd, which connect the scattered communities across the low-lying terrain.
