About this map

Cape Charles Air Force Sta and the U S Naval Communications Sta anchor the southern tip of the Delmarva Peninsula in this detailed coastal survey. The landscape is a complex network of salt marshes and tidal channels, where Mockhorn Island and Smith Island shield the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, the agricultural character of Northampton County is evident through numerous plantations and small truck-farming settlements like Townsend, Capeville, and Cheapside.
