DESCRIPTION

Detailed chart of the entrance to Cherrystone Inlet in the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern shore of Virginia. Various locations are noted including Old Plantation Creek, King's Creek, a boathouse, and a wharf. Bathymetry is shown with numerous depth soundings and isolines. Tidal information and notes are also shown.

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.
