About this map

Boxiron and its surrounding coastal landings anchor this mid-century study of the Maryland-Virginia borderlands along the eastern shore of Chincoteague Bay. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of salt marshes, tidal guts, and named hummocks, where the transition from the mainland of Snow Hill No. 2 to the open water is mediated by features like Mills Island and Tizzard Island. The map records a series of traditional maritime access points including Truitt Landing, Scarboro Landing, and George Island Landing, reflecting a shoreline economy deeply tied to the water before the era of intensive coastal development.
