About this map

Ocean City and its barrier island geography are defined by the narrow strip of Fenwick Island separating the Atlantic Ocean from the protected waters of Assawoman Bay and Isle of Wight Bay. In this 2014 survey, the urban grid of the resort town is connected to the mainland via the Harry W Kelly Memorial Bridge, leading to the established residential developments of West Ocean City, Captains Hill, and Greenwood Place.

South of the city, the landscape shifts toward the preserved natural terrain of the Assateague Island National Seashore, encompassing Assateague Island and landmarks like Coffins Point. The map captures the infrastructure of the early 21st century coastal economy, from the Ocean City Municipal Airport to the maritime navigation points of Ocean City Harbor and the offshore sandbars of Little Gull Bank and Great Gull Bank. Small marshy features like Dog and Bitch Islands and Drum Island remain visible in the bays, illustrating the intricate shoreline of Worcester County.
