1972 Map of Deal Island
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
Deal Island and its surrounding marshlands dominate this 1972 orthophotomap, where the interface of land and the Chesapeake's eastern waters is meticulously documented. The settlement pattern follows the narrow ridges of higher ground, with clusters of activity at Wenona, Chance, and Dames Quarter. These communities are defined by their reliance on the water, situated between the Tangier Sound and the Nanticoke River. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including St Pauls Ch, John Wesley Ch, and several small cemeteries scattered across the peninsula.
