1944 Map of Messick
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The coastal marshlands and tidal inlets of York County are meticulously detailed in this 1944 edition, which highlights the dual nature of the peninsula during World War II. While small settlements like Jeffs and Messick are clustered along the southern roadways of Messick Rd and Ridge Rd, a large portion of the marshes and bays to the north is designated as the U S Army Bombing Area. This military footprint occupies much of the shoreline and interior wetlands, reflecting the area's strategic wartime importance.
