The Chesapeake Bay Watershed region covers the eastern half of the county. The watershed’s western boundary roughly follows Route 258 (Courthouse Highway) going south toward the Town of Windsor. The watershed boundary continues along the western end of Windsor and then angles in toward the boundary with the City of Suffolk.
