About this map

Ocean City and the surrounding coastal wetlands of Maryland and Delaware appear in high detail just after the start of World War II. The landscape is defined by the narrow barrier strand and the expansive back bays, including Little Assawoman Bay and Assawoman Bay. Transportation networks show a heavy reliance on rail, with the Pennsylvania Railroad running through Berlin and the Baltimore and Virginia Railroad terminating near the coast.
