About this map

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Wallops Island) facility dominates this coastal survey, reflecting the early years of the space race on the Virginia shore. The landscape is a mix of high-tech infrastructure and sensitive tidal wetlands, with several Launch Pads, Radio Towers, and a Weather Station positioned along the Atlantic coastline. These installations are situated directly between the Beach and the labyrinth of marshes including Cat Creek and Hog Creek.
