2013 Map of Parksley

About this map

Parksley serves as a central hub on this eastern shore map, where the street grid organizes the landscape near Whitesville and Lee Mont. The geography is defined by a labyrinth of tidal guts and points along the Chesapeake Bay margin, including Poulson Point and the complex shoreline of Marks Island. Small inland settlements like Hopkins and Clam are connected by a network of rural roads that navigate the marshes and wooded sections of the peninsula. Local industry and historic land use are evident at Drummonds Millpond and along the numerous small waterways like Hunting Creek and Guilford Creek. This survey captures the traditional settlement patterns of Accomack County, where community life centered around places like Guilford Church and various landings including Parker Landing.
