About this map

Fenwick Island serves as the central barrier between the open ocean and a complex network of coastal bays and marshes in this 1967 survey. The landscape is defined by the shifting boundaries of Assawoman Bay, Little Assawoman Bay, and the St Martin River. Coastal development is concentrated along the narrow strip of Maryland Beach and the town of Fenwick Island, where the Fenwick Island Lighthouse and Fenwick Island State Park mark the shore.

Inland, the map reveals a transition into agricultural and marshy necks, including Miller Neck and Greys Neck. Small settlements and landing points like Bayville, Swann Keys, and Sassafras Landing are tucked along the winding banks of Dirickson Creek and Roy Creek. The presence of the Assawoman Wildlife Area preserves the wetland character of the northern reaches, such as Zigzag Marsh, highlighting the delicate balance between recreational beach growth and the preservation of coastal estuaries.
