1984 Map of Tappahannock

About this map

The Rappahannock River and Potomac River dominate this coastal landscape, defining the jagged peninsulas of Virginia’s Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula in the mid-1980s. Key regional hubs like Tappahannock and Warsaw anchor the inland crossings, while the eastern fringes transition into the aqueous environment of the Chesapeake Bay. This maritime character is punctuated by isolated landforms such as Smith Island and Tangier Island, and protected coastal habitats including the Martin National Wildlife Refuge.
