About this map

Reedville serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, situated prominently on the peninsula between Cockrell Creek and the Great Wicomico River. The landscape is defined by the intricate finger-like projections of the Northern Neck, where numerous named necks such as Cockrell Neck, Harveys Neck, and Mila Neck extend into the surrounding waters of Ingram Bay and the Chesapeake Bay. The settlement pattern follows the shoreline and ridge lines, connecting established communities like Lilian, Beverlyville, and Fleeton.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds including Morattico Cem and Roseland Cem, which sit alongside historic road networks. The maritime character of the region is evident in the prevalence of points and coves, from Glebe Point in the north to the protected waters of Gascony Cove and Natty Point Cove further south. The presence of the Reedville Airport and local landings indicates the continued importance of both aviation and waterborne access to this distinct Virginia coastline.
