About this map

Tangier Sound dominates this coastal survey, where the maritime boundary between Maryland and Virginia intersects a landscape of shifting salt marshes and tidal channels. The shoreline of Janes Island State Park and the nearby town of Crisfield define the eastern edge, while the eastern fringes of Smith Island appear across the sound to the west. This area is characterized by a complex network of waterways like the Little Annemessex River and Big Thorofare, which historically served as the primary thoroughfares for the region’s watermen.

Small island settlements and fishing outposts are scattered throughout the marshes, including Horse Hammock and Does Hammock. The map detail captures the intricate geography of the Fox Islands, featuring named landmarks such as Great Fox Island and Clump Island. These islands and the surrounding tidal flats near Watkins Pt reflect an era of natural coastal morphology before modern sea-level changes significantly altered the visibility of these lower-lying features.
