2016 Map of Ocean City

About this map

Ocean City serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, situated on a narrow barrier island between the Atlantic Ocean and a series of protected bays. The Ocean City Inlet separates the developed resort area from the northern reaches of the Assateague Island National Seashore, providing a vital maritime passage into Sinepuxent Bay. The map highlights the contrast between the dense urban grid of the seaside city and the mainland residential pockets such as West Ocean City, Bay Shore Acres, and Captains Hill. Infrastructure like the Harry W Kelly Memorial Bridge across the Isle of Wight Bay and the Ocean City Municipal Airport underscores the area's role as a major regional destination. Smaller features like Drum Island and The Thorofare Dog and Bitch Islands illustrate the complex hydrography of the back bays, while Upper Sinepuxent Neck marks the transition toward the agricultural and marshland interior of Worcester County.
