1901 Map of Ocean City
USGS Topo · Published 1946About this map
Ocean City stands as a fledgling coastal settlement along the narrow barrier beach in this survey of the Maryland-Delaware border region. The landscape is defined by the intricate waterways of Little Assawoman Bay and the larger inland sounds, where numerous hammocks and islands like Hills I. and Piney I. dot the marshes. Inland, the agrarian and timber economy is reflected in the dense network of small villages such as Berlin, Bishopville, and Newark, many of which serve as rail hubs. The arrival of the Philadelphia Wilmington and Baltimore R. R. and the Chesapeake and Atlantic R. R. highlights the late nineteenth-century transition toward improved regional connectivity. Maritime safety is anchored by landmarks like the Fenwick Island L.H. and the Isle of Wight L.S.S., serving as critical outposts for navigation and rescue along the Atlantic coast.
