1965 Map of Chincoteague West

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Chincoteague Island and its surrounding coastal marshes are captured here during a period of significant mid-century transition. The mainland is anchored by settlements such as Horntown and Wattsville, while the burgeoning University of Virginia Eastern Shore Branch suggests the era's educational expansion. To the south, the presence of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Wallops Island) reflects the region's role in the Cold War space race, contrasted by the enduring quiet of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. The map reveals a complex aquatic landscape of thoroughfares like the Chincoteague Channel and Queen Sound Channel, vital for the local maritime economy and the Coast Guard Station. From the small Tabernacle Ch to the various Sandpits, the sheet details the everyday infrastructure of Accomack County's eastern shore.
