Modern county mapping
Accomack County’s current mapping tools are useful for locating parcels, roads, waterways, and present-day place context.
County formation
Remember the boundary story: the 1634 Eastern Shore shire became Northampton, then Accomack was formed from the northern portion in 1663.
Historic maps carried forward
- John Farrer, A map of Virginia discovered to ye Hills (1651) — Library of Virginia exhibit link on the old site is currently difficult to retrieve.
- U.S. territorial history timeline
- A New Map Of North America Shewing All The New Discoveries (1797) — New York Public Library Digital Collections
- Library of Congress Maps
The old Accomack map page also linked a JHU color landform atlas and an ESVA.net county map. Those older destinations have changed; this rebuild favors current collections rather than silently carrying dead URLs forward.
