About this map

Ocean City serves as the central hub of this coastal survey, where the dense grid of St Louis Ave and Philadelphia Ave meets the Atlantic shoreline. The map documents the intricate landscape of the Maryland coast, where the Ocean City Inlet separates the developed barrier beach from the northern reaches of the Assateague Island National Seashore. To the west, mainland expansion is evident in residential communities like West Ocean City, Bay Shore Acres, and Captains Hill, which are linked to the beach by the Harry W Kelly Memorial Bridge.

The geography is defined by a complex network of back bays, including Isle of Wight Bay and Assawoman Bay, dotted with smaller landforms such as Mallard Island and the uniquely named Dog and Bitch Islands. Infrastructure like the Ocean City Municipal Airport and Keyser Point anchor the southwestern portion of the map, illustrating the balance between seasonal tourism and permanent coastal development.
