About this map

Gibson Island and the surrounding Chesapeake shoreline reflect a mid-century coastal landscape of private estates, scientific research, and maritime navigation. The peninsula of Gibson Island is characterized by its Golf Course and Inner Harbor, while the nearby mainland is home to the Chesapeake Bay Institute Field Laboratory. This area demonstrates the post-war transition of Broad Neck towards recreational and institutional use, as evidenced by the establishment of Sandy Point State Park at the eastern tip of the peninsula.
