About this map

The salt marshes and intricate tidal creeks of Mathews County define this post-war coastal landscape, where the land fragments into points and necks between Mobjack Bay and the Chesapeake Bay. The maritime character of the era is evident in the numerous navigation aids, from the historic New Point Comfort L H at the southern tip to the specialized Whites Island Bar Lt and Pond Pt Shoal Lt. Inland, the community is anchored by local institutions such as Antioch Sch and a network of country churches including St Paul Ch and Beulah Ch.
