About this map

Chincoteague Island and the expansive marshes of the Assateague Island National Seashore dominate this coastal landscape, revealing the intricate geography of the Virginia shoreline. The town of Chincoteague is densely detailed, showing the layout of local streets such as Main St and Deep Hole Rd. The map is particularly valuable for its concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Daisey Memorial Cem, Reynolds Cem, and Assateague Village Cem.

Beyond the central settlement, smaller locales like Deep Hole and Birch Town sit adjacent to Piney Island and the winding Assateague Channel. The coastal environment is characterized by numerous small waterways and marshy points, from Wildcat Gut to Mink Tump Point. This survey provides a modern record of the island's infrastructure, noting landmarks like the Union Baptist Church and Saint Andrew Catholic Church amidst the shifting sands of Assateague Island.
