About this map

Reedville serves as the focal point of this coastal Virginia survey, situated at the confluence of Cockrell Creek and the Great Wicomico River. The landscape is defined by its intricate network of necks and points, including Bogey Neck, Harveys Neck, and the prominent Dameron Marsh extending into the Chesapeake Bay. Settlement patterns are deeply tied to these waterways, with established fishing and maritime communities like Fleeton, Fairport, and Tibitha clustered along the shoreline.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of community landmarks, from the Jessie Ball duPont Sch to numerous rural churches such as Rehoboth Church, Bethany Ch, and Wicomico Ch. The area's shift toward modern infrastructure is visible through the Reedville Airport and a waterfront Golf Course at Blackwells, while remnants of earlier industry appear at the Ingram Millpond and scattered Gravel Pits.
