The tidal inlets and marshlands of Mathews County define this coastal landscape as it appeared in the mid-1960s. Low-lying terrain is punctuated by small settlements like Motorun, Bayside, and Shadow, where local life centered around the numerous creeks and harbors. At the southernmost tip, New Point Comfort serves as a critical navigation landmark, anchored by the New Point Comfort Lighthouse overlooking the confluence of Mobjack Bay and the Chesapeake Bay.
