2013 Map of Assawoman Bay

About this map

The coastal boundary between Maryland and Delaware defines this 2013 topographic survey, where Fenwick Island serves as a narrow barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the sprawling waters of Assawoman Bay. This landscape is a complex network of residential developments and maritime features, ranging from the established Fenwick Island Lighthouse to modern communities like Montego Bay, Swann Keys, and Caine Keys. The map reveals the intricate transition from mainland to marsh, documented through family-named points and inlets such as Miller Neck, Dirickson Neck, and Johns Hammock. Watercraft access points are prominent, including Sassafras Landing, Mulberry Landing, and the Advanced Marina near the Assawoman Bay Bridge. From the northern reaches of Little Bay down to Isle of Wight Bay, the map provides a precise record of late-twentieth-century coastal engineering, leisure development, and the preserved wetlands of the Delmarva shoreline.
