1942 Map of Ocean City
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Fenwick Island and Assateague Island dominate this coastal survey, separated by the Ocean City Inlet which links the Atlantic Ocean to the interior bays. During the early 1940s, Ocean City was established as a burgeoning resort hub, with its grid of streets concentrated south of the Coast Guard Sta. The map highlights a landscape defined by water and narrow landforms, including the marshes of Sinepuxent Neck and the distinct points of Keyser Pt and Coffins Pt. Local geography is further detailed by named water bodies such as The Ditch, Aleck Pond, and Octopus Pond. These features reveal the intricate relationship between the seaside settlement and its surrounding wetlands, where navigation was facilitated by The Thorofare and landmarks like the Light and Tower near the inlet.
