About this map

Sandbridge Beach stands at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean on this coastal Virginia survey, illustrating the complex geography of the barrier island and its interior waters. The landscape is defined by the Sand Ridge, a narrow corridor separating the ocean from an intricate network of lagoons including North Bay, Shipps Bay, and Redhead Bay. These waters are dotted with numerous small points and islands, such as Bread Island and Ragged Island, while the western shore is characterized by Charity Neck and the Wash Flats.

Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by the small settlements of Sigma, Dawley Corners, and Hill Landing. The Charity Cemetery provides a specific point of reference for family researchers, while recreational developments like the Hells Point Golf Course signify the area's modern character. The map also traces various waterways like Ashville Bridge Creek and Beggars Bridge Creek, which feed into the larger bay system.
