1986 Map of West of Nandua Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this bathymetric study, revealing the complex underwater topography off the coast of the Eastern Shore. Produced by the National Ocean Service and the Geological Survey in the mid-1980s, the map focuses on the submerged landscape west of Nandua Creek. A prominent deep-water Channel is charted in the lower-left corner, providing a vital maritime link for vessels navigating the interior of the bay. The detailed meter-interval contours illustrate the gradual slopes and sudden depressions of the bay floor, capturing the hydrographic state of these waters before modern sediment shifts and updated surveys. This sheet is purely focused on the aquatic environment, serving as a specific record of the navigational and geological features found beneath the surface of the Virginia coast.
