About this map

Chincoteague Bay and the coastal barrier islands of the Eastern Shore are documented here in this mid-century Army Map Service study. The geography is defined by a complex network of bays, including Sinepuxent Bay and Newport Bay, separated from the Atlantic Ocean by narrow strips of land such as Great Egging Beach and Little Egging Beach. This maritime landscape was guarded by a string of Coast Guard Stations, with facilities at North Beach, Green Run Inlet, and Pope Island providing critical safety infrastructure along this stretch of the Atlantic coast. Inland, the map details the marshy reaches of Newport Neck and numerous islands like Tingle Island and Cropper Island. The lack of inland development at this time highlights the area's isolation and its reliance on the water, with named landmarks like Winter Quarter and Lumber Marsh hinting at early land use patterns.
