2013 Map of West of Franktown

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this coastal survey, capturing a vast stretch of open water west of the Delmarva Peninsula in 2013. The map represents a maritime quadrangle located offshore from the Eastern Shore of Virginia, focusing entirely on the hydrography of the bay itself. This specific sheet illustrates the expanse of the bay before it narrows toward the northern reaches, serving as a clean record of the water's surface as defined by the U.S. Geological Survey for this nautical coordinate. Given the lack of terrestrial features, the document highlights the essential role of the Chesapeake Bay as a primary geographic landmark for Northampton County mariners and coastal researchers.
