1938 Map of Green Run

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Chincoteague Bay and the narrow barrier beaches of the Maryland and Virginia coast dominate this 1938 planimetric revision. The landscape is defined by the shallow waters of Sinepuxent Bay and Newport Bay, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a slender thread of sand. Coast Guard Stations at North Beach, Green Run Inlet, and Pope Island mark the vital maritime safety infrastructure of the era. On the mainland side, Sinepuxent Neck and small outposts like Scotts Landing represent the sparse human footprint in this wetland-heavy environment. The map provides a precise look at the shifting coastal topography before mid-century development, highlighting tidal features such as Lumber Marsh, Middlemoor, and Tingle Island. The boundary between Worcester County and Accomac County cuts across the southern marshes near Pope Island.
