Wolf Trap to Smith Point Nautical Chart Coffee Mug

This is NOAA’s Chesapeake Bay Wolf Trap to Smith Point nautical chart number 12225. It is often referred to as a nautical chart or a nautical map. It is based on the original, traditional paper nautical chart. It covers a portion of the Virginia and Maryland coasts, focusing primarily on the Chesapeake Bay. Coverage extends from Wolf Trap to Smith Point. The chart’s scale is 1:80,000 at Lat. 37°40’N. Colour shading on the chart indicates various water depths and land elevations. Depth soundings are in feet. Also included on the chart are aids and hazards to navigation. Typically, mariners use nautical charts covering this map scale for coastal and nearshore navigation. This paper chart and others like it are being phased out by NOAA. Electronic charts for onboard navigation are replacing paper charts. Certain products in our NauticalChart Store utilize cropped or edited elements on the chart. I have removed sections of this chart to improve its overall aesthetic image quality. Cropping and reprinting this chart makes it unsuitable for navigation. However, this chart is ideal for home and business decor. Framed nautical charts make great conservation pieces. Nautical charts printed on other products in our store make excellent additions to the decor in living areas, bedroom areas, and bathrooms. Wall art created from nautical charts is ideal for creating a nautical theme for homes and businesses. This nautical chart was used to create additional products and apparel.
