2019 Map of Boxiron
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
The Maryland-Virginia state line bisects Chincoteague Bay in this coastal survey, where the marshy transition between land and water defines the local geography. Small water-access points like George Island Landing, Boxiron Landing, and Figgs Landing connect the inland roads to a complex network of thoroughfares and guts. The landscape is a mosaic of named marshes and hummocks, such as Pikes Creek Marsh and Purnell Hummock, reflecting centuries of maritime adaptation. Significant conservation areas including Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Assateague Island National Seashore protect the outer banks and barrier islands. Inland, the settlement of Boxiron sits at a crossroads of rural routes like Boxiron Rd and Cherrix Rd, serving as a gateway to the intricate tidal estuaries and islands like Mills Island and Assacorkin Island.
