About this map

Boxiron sits at the head of Boxiron Creek, serving as a central point in this coastal landscape defined by a network of historic landings and extensive tidal marshes. The shoreline along Chincoteague Bay is dotted with sites like Figgs Landing, Scott Landing, and Truitt Landing, marking a maritime economy based on boat access to the bay's productive waters. Navigational channels like Assacorkin Thorofare and Muddy Thorofare weave between a complex archipelago of tumps and islands, including Mills Island and Tizzard Island. The southern portion of the sheet reaches the Maryland-Virginia state line, showing the early boundaries of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Numerous family-named roads like Cherrix Road and Taylor Landing Road connect the inland timber and agricultural plots to the bay's edge.
