About this map

The intricate coastal ecology of Virginia's Eastern Shore dominates this mid-1960s study, where the salt marshes and tidal flats of Chincoteague Bay meet the growing footprint of federal aerospace and conservation efforts. Chincoteague Island serves as the primary hub of settlement, showing its residential streets and the Trailer Park nestled against the maritime landscape. To the west, the Wallops Flight Facility (NASA-GSFC) and its associated launching grounds on Wallops Island signal the era's technological expansion into the wetlands.
