Preliminary Sketch of Wachapreague, Machipongo, and Metomkin Inlets Coast of Virginia
DESCRIPTION
This chart has four sub-sketches on one sheet showing Wachapreague, Machipongo (Great and Little), and Metomkin Inlets on the Coast of Virginia. The small scale inset chart shows the relative locations of the four inlets. Channels, breakers, rocks, ranges, bearings, aids and hazards to navigation, depth soundings, bathymetric shading, and landmarks are shown on all three detail sketches.
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.
