1965 Map of Ware Neck

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The coastal peninsula of Ware Neck and its neighboring fingers of land are defined by the intricate tides of the Ware River and North River. During this mid-century period, the landscape is a mosaic of tidal flats and established waterfront estates like Glen Roy Estates. The maritime character of the region is evident in landmarks such as Auburn Wharf and several navigational aids, including Cradle Pt Light and Lone Point Light. Small crossroads communities like James Store and Nuttall anchor the interior, often centered around local congregations such as Spring Hill Ch or Locust Grove Ch. The presence of Fort Nonsense near the center of the sheet provides a historical reference point amidst the network of creeks and necks that dominate the Gloucester and Mathews County shoreline.
