2022 Map of Smith Point

About this map

Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay converge at the tip of Virginia's Northern Neck on this maritime survey. The landscape is defined by the shifting confluence of the Northern Neck, the Maryland state line, and the waters of the Intracoastal Waterway. The settlement at Smith Point serves as a critical navigation marker where the Little Wicomico River meets the bay. Modern conservation and recreation are visible through the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trl, which winds through this coastal environment. Small geographic features like Bamboo Island and the inlet at Rock Hole illustrate the intricate shoreline of the Chesapeake. The map highlights the complex jurisdictional boundaries of Northumberland County, Accomack County, and the Maryland counties of St. Mary's and Somerset, all meeting in these tidal reaches.
