1944 Map of Reedville

About this map

Cockrell Creek serves as the focal point for this mid-century coastal survey, where the prominent fishing village of Reedville and the nearby Fleet Hotel at Fleeton define the maritime character of the Northern Neck. The landscape is deeply incised by the Great Wicomico River and numerous tidal inlets such as Whays Creek and Harveys Creek, revealing a traditional Chesapeake settlement pattern where communities like Lillian and Beverlyville are oriented toward the water.
