2016 Map of Wachapreague OE E

About this map

Cedar Island and Parramore Beach define the fragile barrier island landscape along the Virginia coastline in this maritime survey. Divided by the Wachapreague Inlet, these landforms separate the inner marsh channels from the open Atlantic Ocean. The western edge of the sheet is a complex network of tidal waterways including Brandywine Channel, Big Wye Channel, and Sloop Channel. These passages, along with features like Great Gut and Horseshoe Lead, illustrate the shifting hydrography of Accomack County. Further south, the map reveals landward features such as Italian Hill and the Goose Lakes, providing a detailed look at the interface between the Eastern Shore's barrier system and its interior lagoons.
