Accomack County at a glance: towns and land
Parcel searches in Accomack County tend to center on Accomac, the county seat, plus Belle Haven, Bloxom, Chincoteague, and Hallwood. Out in the countryside, Atlantic, Bayside, and Bobtown appear as small knots of lots along the road network. The county dates to 1671, and older deeds may still refer to landmarks from that era. About 33,239 people lived in Accomack County in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, on roughly 449 square miles. That density means a real mix on the map: platted neighborhoods near Bloxom, and larger tracts on the rural roads. Assateague Island National Seashore, Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, and Martin National Wildlife Refuge are a big draw, and the private tracts that border public land are often the first ones hunters and cabin buyers ask about.
How to use the Accomack County GIS map
Open the Accomack County parcel viewer, the map the county itself publishes for Accomac and the rest of Accomack County.

How to find property lines in Accomack County
Zoom in far enough on a lot in Bloxom and you may notice lines crossing driveways or splitting sheds, a normal quirk of tax mapping. In Accomack County, a rural deed may describe a line running to a creek, a stone or a neighbor's corner, which is why the map lines wander. Corner pins, a recorded plat and a Virginia licensed surveyor beat any line on a screen.
Behind the map: land records in Accomack County
For land near Hallwood, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. Names differ across states, so confirm on the official Accomack County site which office records deeds and plats. Copy the parcel ID and legal description before you call or visit; recording staff can find an Accomack County document much faster with them.

Near Keller, a single field edge can separate two owners with very different answers about access; the map tells you which is which.
