1964 Map of Poquoson East

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Plum Tree Island National Wildlife Refuge dominates the eastern coastal reaches of this survey, preserving a complex of salt marsh and tidal flats where the Poquoson River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The map documents the low-lying geography of the Virginia Peninsula just as residential development began to press eastward from Poquoson toward the wetlands. Local infrastructure is represented by a handful of roads like North Lawson Road and Poquoson Rd, which serve small clusters of buildings and a Cem near the water's edge. Offshore, the vast shallow waters of the York Spit and Poquoson Flats are marked by the distant York Spit Lighthouse, signaling the transition from protected coves like Easton Cove to the open bay. This topographic record highlights the intricate network of ridges and islands, including Blackwalnut Ridge and Blacksnake Island, that define the fragile boundary between land and sea.
