About this map

Smith Island anchors this mid-century survey of the unique marshland archipelago straddling the Maryland Virginia state line. The isolated communities of Ewell, Rhodes Point, and Tylerton are meticulously documented, revealing a landscape defined by an intricate network of waterways such as The Canal, Tyler Ditch, and Shanks Creek. This specific era captures the islands before significant modern shoreline changes, showing the placement of Calvary Ch and local Cem sites that serve as vital touchstones for family historians.

Navigation and local industry are central to the geography, with numerous Light stations and named guts like Frances Gut and Jeans Gut threading through Fishing Creek Marsh. The map provides a detailed view of the lower island reaches, including Cheeseman Island and Shanks Island, where the terrain transitions into broad tidal flats. Notable landmarks such as Amen Corner and Peachorchard Pt offer specific coordinates for researchers tracking the shifting geography of the Chesapeake Bay.
