1964 Map of Boxiron

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Boxiron and its surrounding coastal landings anchor this survey of the Worcester County shoreline, where the land fragmentizes into the marshy expanse of Chincoteague and Johnson Bay. This period of the mid-1960s captures the transition of these coastal wetlands into protected zones, notably with the E A Vaughn Wildlife Management Area and the emerging Assateague Island National Seashore. The map documents a complex system of shallow-water navigation and local transit, with numerous family-named landings such as Truitt Landing, Figgs Landing, and Scarboro Landing serving as vital links between the mainland and the bay's inner islands.
