1901 Map of Green Run

About this map

The coastal barrier islands and estuaries of the Delmarva Peninsula are captured in high detail here, reflecting the landscape as it appeared during the 1900 survey. Life-Saving Stations, including North Beach L.S.S. and Green Run Inlet L.S.S., stand as vital maritime outposts along the narrow strand separating the Atlantic Ocean from the inner bays. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of Sinepuxent Bay and Chincoteague Bay, punctuated by family-named landmarks and hunting grounds like Winter Quarter and Whittington Point. Points of transit and trade are marked at Scotts Landing and across the peninsulas of Newport Neck and Sinepuxent Neck. This study highlights the ephemeral nature of the coast before modern development, documenting small islands and marshes such as Tingles Island and Lumber Marsh that define this saltwater environment.
