2014 Map of Assawoman Bay

About this map

Fenwick Island serves as the focal point for this coastal survey, where the Delaware-Maryland state line bisects the barrier beach. The landscape is defined by the intricate relationship between the Atlantic Ocean and the back bays, including Little Assawoman Bay and the larger Assawoman Bay. Extensive development along the shoreline is evident in residential communities like Montego Bay, Caine Harbor Mile, and Keen-Wik. On the mainland side of the Delmarva Peninsula, the geography is characterized by numerous necks and points, such as Miller Neck and Greys Neck, punctuated by historic landing sites like Sassafras Landing and Mulberry Landing. The map traces the critical corridor of Coastal Hwy as it connects these seaside settlements, while significant natural features like Isle of Wight and Reedy Island remain prominent in the shallow waters of the bay.
