About this map

Chincoteague island life is documented here at the close of the century, showing the dense residential and maritime development of the town contrasted with the protected marshlands to the east. The map captures local community landmarks including the Chincoteague High Sch, Christ Sanctified Holy Ch, and several family burial grounds such as Mechanics Cem and Redman Cem. The southern end of the island transitions from the Trailer Park and Birch Town into the complex waterways of Toms Cove and Chincoteague Inlet.

Beyond the residential core, the landscape is defined by the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Assateague Island National Seashore. This environment is a maze of tidal flats and named guts, such as Wildcat Gut and East Gut, reaching toward Assateague Island. Historical maritime infrastructure remains prominent, specifically the Assateague Beach U S Coast Guard Station guarding the Atlantic approach.
