1942 Map of Chincoteague East

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Chincoteague serves as the primary hub for this coastal survey, which documents the barrier island geography of the Virginia coast during the early 1940s. The map captures a detailed view of the marshlands and waterways that define the region, including Chincoteague Channel and the intricate coves of Assateague Bay. A notable military presence is seen at Camp Fletcher, while the established Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge covers a significant portion of the surrounding terrain. Small landmarks such as the Assateague Lighthouse, a Boathouse, and the curiously named Woods Grave provide specific points of interest for local historians. The map also records smaller settlements like Birch Town and natural features such as Morris Island and Deep Hole, illustrating the maritime economy and residential patterns before significant modern development altered the island's coastline.
