About this map

Chesapeake Bay waters dominate this coastal survey, where the primary maritime transit routes of the Eastern Shore are clearly delineated. The map focuses on the open expanse of the bay and the vital Intracoastal Waterway, which serves as a critical artery for coastal shipping and navigation. In the northwestern corner, the Piankatank River reaches its mouth, marking a significant hydrological point where riverine currents meet the larger bay system.

A notable administrative boundary divides the aquatic landscape, showing the division between Accomack Co and Northampton Co. This line provides a rare visualization of how county jurisdictions extend into the open water of the bay. While the map is almost entirely nautical, it offers a precise look at the contemporary maritime boundaries and water-based transportation infrastructure of this Virginia coastal region.
