DESCRIPTION

A highly detailed chart of the Sea Coast of Virginia from Gargathy Inlet to Machipongo Inlet. The chart shows numerous depth soundings, banks, bottom conditions, and notes and tidal information for the mariner. Identifies Hog's Island, Paramore's Island, and Cedar Island.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
