Deal Island and the surrounding marshlands of the Chesapeake Bay are meticulously documented in this mid-century War Department survey. The map details a water-dependent landscape where the Tangier Sound meets the Nanticoke River, emphasizing the intricate network of tidal guts and thorofares that define local geography. Small settlements like Wenona and Chance are shown with individual building footprints, providing a window into the layout of these coastal fishing and crabbing communities during the early 1940s.
