2011 Map of Ship Shoal Inlet
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Smith Island and Myrtle Island form a fragmented barrier system along the Eastern Shore of Virginia, where the land meets the Atlantic Ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by shifting sands and intricate waterways, including the Main Ship Shoal Channel and Black Rock Channel, which navigate the tidal marshes. The area is dominated by low-lying islands such as Godwin Island, Mink Island, and Wreck Island, separated by tidal guts like Red Drum Drain and Pudding Creek.
