1965 Map of Ware Neck

About this map

Fort Nonsense stands as a prominent landmark on this mid-century survey of the Tidewater region, where the intricate geography of the Ware River meets the North River. The landscape is defined by long, slender peninsulas including Chapel Neck, White Neck, and Ware Neck, each reaching into the Chesapeake's tributaries. Small agricultural and maritime hubs like James Store, Schley, and Zanoni are connected by a network of state routes, while the shoreline is dotted with historical maritime infrastructure such as Auburn Wharf and the Baileys Wharf Beacon.
