Ferry Road
The base remains bisected by a finger of land not part of the base. The land includes Ferry Road, a rail line, and the docks serving current cross-bay rail barge traffic of Bay Coast Railroad, formerly the Eastern Shore Railroad, to Cape Charles, Virginia.
Ferry Road, crossed by the base's Guam Road-Amphibious Drive bridge, once served the now defunct Little Creek-Cape Charles Ferry which transported passengers and motor vehicles across the mouth of the bay to Cape Charles and Kiptopeke until replacement in 1964 by the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

Famous quotes containing the words ferry and/or road:
““Ferry me across the water,
Do, boatman, do.”
“If you’ve a penny in your purse
I’ll ferry you.””
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“At sundown, leaving the river road awhile for shortness, we went by way of Enfield, where we stopped for the night. This, like most of the localities bearing names on this road, was a place to name which, in the midst of the unnamed and unincorporated wilderness, was to make a distinction without a difference, it seemed to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
