1986 Map of West of Jamesville

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Chesapeake Bay waters dominate this bathymetric study, revealing the complex underwater topography off the coast of Accomack County in the mid-1980s. Unlike traditional topographic maps focusing on terrestrial landmarks, this hydrographic survey maps the submerged contours of the bay floor. A prominent Channel cuts through the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as a vital deep-water passage for maritime traffic. This specific chart is particularly valuable for understanding the underwater environment before modern shifts in sedimentation and coastal morphology, providing a clear record of depth gradients and nautical pathways as they existed in the late twentieth century.
