2019 Map of Poquoson East

About this map

Poquoson and its intricate coastal marshlands are the focus of this 2019 survey, illustrating the complex intersection of land and water along the western shore of the Chesapeake. The geography is defined by a dense network of tidal guts and estuaries, including Bennett Creek, Gum Hammock Creek, and Fire Pine Cr, which carve through the Big Salt Marsh. Named landforms like Blackwalnut Ridge and Plumtree Point represent the stable ground amidst a shifting landscape of islands and flats such as Whalebone Island and the Poquoson Flats.
