2016 Map of West of Franktown

About this map

Chesapeake Bay waters dominate this maritime survey, illustrating a critical segment of the Virginia coastline in the mid-2010s. The map focus is centered on the open expanse west of the Eastern Shore, where the Intracoastal Waterway provides a vital navigational corridor for vessels moving along the Atlantic seaboard. This chart serves primarily as a hydrographic record, documenting the spatial relationship between the bay's wide reaches and the established transit lanes that define modern coastal commerce and recreation. While the landmass of Northampton County lies just beyond the eastern margin, the map captures the essential water-based infrastructure that supports the region's historical reliance on the sea.
