2019 Map of Parksley

About this map

Parksley serves as a central hub on this Virginia Eastern Shore landscape, where a grid of local roads and state routes connects long-established farming and maritime communities. The map details a complex coastal geography defined by the intricate waterways of Beasley Bay and the Little Back River, where numerous points and guts such as Simpson Point and Rue Gut suggest a life deeply tied to the tide. Family heritage is anchored in the land at the Abrams Family Cem near Justisville and Liberty Cem in the heart of town. Movement through the county follows historical corridors like Guards Shore Rd and Guilford Rd, linking inland settlements like Lee Mont and Whitesville to the marshy edges of the Chesapeake. The presence of Adams United Methodist Church and various small hamlets like Clam and Hopeton illustrates the enduring social fabric of Accomack County.
