1953 Map of North Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Sandbridge Beach and the narrow barrier peninsula of Sandridge separate the marshy waters of the Virginia coast from the Atlantic Ocean. This landscape is defined by the transition from the upland communities of Sigma and Dawley Corners to the expansive wetlands of the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a complex system of waterways, including North Bay, Shipp s Bay, and Redhead Bay, which are punctuated by distinctive landforms like Charity Neck and Long Island. Significant coastal infrastructure is present, notably the Little Island Coast Guard Station and several Observation Towers along the shoreline. Local genealogy and history are anchored by the Tabernacle Ch and various Cem locations, while names like Rock Island Haul and Hill Landing speak to the area's traditional maritime and bay-front heritage.
