(The National Map ), accessed April 1, 2011〕 river in the U.S. state of Virginia,〔(USGS Geographic Names Information Service )〕 located approximately northeast of Richmond.

==Geography==
The Great Wicomico is a small tidal tributary on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay.〔USGS Hydrologic Unit Map - State of Virginia (1974)〕 It is fed by the freshwater Crabbe Mill Stream and Bush Mill Stream. The Great Wicomico flows into a trap-type estuary on Ingram Bay, with a history of significant natural spat settlement and seed oyster production. Oyster production is risky, given the high risk of disease.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Virginia Oyster Reef Restoration Map Atlas )〕 There are three sentinel sites present. The reefs were constructed in 1996 and 1998. The western shore of the Chesapeake Bay between the Rappahannock River and the Great Wicomico River is generally low with no prominent features.〔United States coast pilot: Atlantic Coast. Sandy Hook to Cape Henry Serial, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, G.P.O., (1937)〕 Dolphins are occasionally sighted in the river estuary.
