About this map

Crisfield serves as the focal point for this 1920 tactical survey, showing a maritime landscape defined by tidal marshes and intricate waterways. This era reflects the peak of the Chesapeake Bay's seafood economy, where the N.Y.P. & N. R.R. (New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Railroad) connected the coastal landings to northern markets. The map reveals clustered waterman communities such as Sackertown, Jersey, and Lawsonia on the mainland, while isolated settlements like Tangier and Ewell are reachable only by water across Tangier Sound.
