2019 Map of Pungoteague

About this map

The complex shoreline of the Eastern Shore's Chesapeake side defines this region, where the tidal fingers of Onancock Creek and Pungoteague Creek reach deep into the farmland of Accomack County. This landscape is a patchwork of ancient necks and points, such as Slutkill Neck and Ames-Hacks Neck, which have dictated the layout of coastal settlements for generations. The interior is dotted with small, historically distinct communities like Crockett Town, Savageville, and Pungoteague, many centered around family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds such as the Badger-Savage Cem. Moving inland, the terrain transitions into protected natural areas like the Dahl Swamp and the tidal marshes of Parkers Marsh, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Accomack County Airport and the Eastern Shore Community College campus near Keller. The intricate drainage network, including Leatherberry Creek and Finneys Creek, illustrates the enduring relationship between the peninsula's agricultural life and its maritime geography.
