About this map

The Great Wicomico River defines this portion of the Northern Neck, where deeply indented shorelines and numerous necks create a complex geography of maritime settlements. In the early 21st century, Reedville remains a focal point for the region's fishing heritage, situated on a narrow peninsula between Cockrell Creek and the Chesapeake Bay. The land is fragmented into distinctive landforms such as Harveys Neck, Ball Neck, and Hughletts Neck, which have shaped local transportation and settlement patterns for generations.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several notable sites, including Wicomico Church and Rehoboth Church, along with the Shiloh Cemetery and Morattico Cemetery. The presence of Fleet Point Light and Glebe Point Landing speaks to a long-standing reliance on the water, while interior features like Ingrams Millpond and Hurst Dam highlight the management of smaller waterways. This map documents a landscape where the transition from colonial-era land grants to modern waterfront communities like Lee Dale Shores and Chesapeake Beach is clearly visible.
