About this map

Smith Point Light stands as a sentinel at the confluence where the Potomac River meets the Chesapeake Bay, anchoring a landscape defined by the intricate finger-like peninsulas of the Northern Neck. In this mid-century period, the area is a network of small landing points and rural crossroads like Burgess Store, Walkers Store, and Jetts Store. The maritime character of the region is evident in the numerous coves and creeks, such as Cod Creek and Elyson Creek, which carve into landforms like Hack Neck and Hull Neck. Community life centers around local institutions, including Fairfields Ch and its accompanying Fairfields Ch Cem, along with several small schoolhouses like Hygeia School and Grays School. The survey captures a transition point in coastal Virginia, showing the proximity of recreational beaches like Virmare Beach and Ginny Beach to established agricultural and fishing settlements.
