2013 Map of West of Nandua Creek

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this map, representing the expansive waters of the Eastern Shore of Virginia in 2013. This specific quadrangle, located west of Nandua Creek in Accomack County, is a rare hydrographic-focused survey where no land features or terrestrial landmarks are captured within the grid. The map serves as a precise digital snapshot of the coastal waters during the early 21st century, focusing entirely on the open bay area that has historically defined the maritime economy and travel patterns of the region. Without terrestrial roads or buildings, the sheet highlights the maritime character of the mid-Atlantic coast, documenting a specific coordinate of the bay before any shifts in shoreline or water depth nomenclature occur in later editions.
