2011 Map of Chincoteague West
USGS Topo · Published 2011About this map
Chincoteague Island and its surrounding coastal waters dominate this Eastern Shore landscape, revealing a complex network of marshes, guts, and narrows. The area serves as a critical hub for maritime activity and scientific research, anchored by the Wallops Flight Facility Airport and academic outposts including the University of Virginia Eastern Shore Branch and Old Dominion University - Wallops Island. Along the mainland, small communities like Horntown and Wattsville maintain a traditional presence, connected to the water via Horntown Landing. The intricate hydrography of Chincoteague Bay is detailed through features like Simoneaston Bay and Queen Sound Channel, illustrating the delicate balance between the mainland and the barrier islands of Wallops Island and Assateague Island.
