About this map

Scotts Landing and the remote Life-Saving Service stations define this coastal landscape at the turn of the century. Situated along the barrier islands and interior sounds of Worcester County, the area is a complex network of marshes, tumps, and narrows. The presence of North Beach L.S.S., Green Run Inlet L.S.S., and Pope Island L.S.S. highlights the vital importance of maritime safety along the Atlantic Ocean before modern navigation. Land use is largely concentrated on the necks, including Sinepuxent Neck and Newport Neck, while the bays are dotted with family-named features like Handys Hammock, Whittington Point, and Tingles Island. This survey captures the Maryland-Virginia border crossing through Chincoteague Bay, preserving the location of early coastal landings and seasonal encampments like Winter Quarter before the expansion of mid-century development.
