1946 Map of Eastville

About this map

The Delmarva Peninsula's southern reach is meticulously documented in this mid-century survey, spanning the transition from Maryland's Crisfield down to the North Carolina coast. The landscape is defined by the thin, fragile line of barrier islands like Assateague Island National Seashore, Hog Island, and Parramore Island, which buffer the mainland from the Atlantic Ocean. Inland, the Penn Central railroad serves as the spine for agricultural and maritime communities such as Accomac, Parksley, and Onancock.
