1973 Map of Poquoson East

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Poquoson shoreline reaches into the Chesapeake Bay on this 1973 orthophotograph, documenting the complex coastal geography of the Virginia Peninsula during the early 1970s. Published as part of the 7.5 minute series, this map replaces standard topographic contour lines with a rectified aerial photograph, offering an unfiltered look at the tidal marshes, inlets, and emerging residential patterns in the southern portion of the quadrangle. The imagery provides an precise account of the interface between land and water, showing the intricate network of guts and marshes that define the local coastal environment before later development changed the waterfront landscape. It remains a valuable resource for researchers tracking coastal erosion and the historical footprint of the local community.
