About this map

Cape Charles serves as the primary hub on this coastal survey, where the Pennsylvania railroad line terminates at the edge of Cape Charles Harbor. This strategic location on the Eastern Shore highlights the mid-century maritime and rail connectivity, with the Cherrystone Channel providing a deep-water approach from the Chesapeake Bay. The landscape is defined by its intricate shoreline of necks and inlets, including Cherrystone Inlet and Wescott Cove.
