2022 Map of Poquoson East

About this map

The coastal interface of York County and Poquoson City is defined by a complex network of marshes, inlets, and islands as they meet the Chesapeake Bay. Significant landforms like Blackwalnut Ridge rise slightly above the surrounding Big Salt Marsh, illustrating the subtle topographic shifts that dictate settlement and ecological boundaries in this part of Virginia. The map documents numerous tidal features, including Poquoson Flats and Drum Island Flats, which stretch into the bay near York Spit. To the south, narrow waterways like Fire Pine Creek and Thorofare Creek wind toward Plumtree Point. Local travel is clustered along the southwestern edge, where roads such as Poquoson Avenue and Little Florida Road provide access to the waterfront and residential pockets near Easton Cove and Floyds Bay.
