1964 Map of Poquoson East

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

US Military Reservation Plum Tree Island Bombing Range dominates the coastal salt marshes of this York County peninsula, illustrating the mid-century intersection of tactical military needs and the fragile coastal environment. The settlement of Poquoson is concentrated in the southwest, where residential growth is visible along Messick Rd and North Lawson Road near the Poquoson High Sch. This survey provides a specialized look at the transition from the inhabited uplands of Blackwalnut Ridge to the vast Salt Marsh and complex waterways like Easton Cove. Off the coast, the hydrography of the Chesapeake Bay is defined by the Poquoson Flats and the protective light of the York Spit Lighthouse, marking the deep-water transition at York Spit.
