1998 Map of Ocean City

About this map

Ocean City occupies the narrow strip of Fenwick Island, separated from the mainland and West Ocean City by the waters of Isle of Wight Bay. This late-twentieth-century survey illustrates the dense urban layout of the resort, showing the famous Boardwalk and a grid of streets from 1st St up through 26th St. To the south, the Ocean City Inlet serves as a critical maritime gateway, dividing the bustling municipality from the undeveloped expanse of Assateague Island National Seashore. The map captures a landscape defined by its precarious geography, where infrastructure like the Coast Guard Lookout Tower and Municipal Pier stand against the Atlantic Ocean. Inland developments such as Cape Isle of Wight and Bay Shore Acres signify the continued residential expansion around the fringes of Sinepuxent Bay and the Ocean City Airport.
