About this map

Chaptico and its surrounding wetlands near Chaptico Bay anchor the northern landscape of this coastal survey. The map details a complex network of peninsulas and points, including Cobb Neck and Cobb Island, defined by the tidewaters of the Wicomico River and Neale Sound. Settled points along the water like Woodberry Beach and Longview Beach contrast with the agricultural and wooded interior near Maddox and Milestown.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of early religious and community sites, such as Christ Church and various Cem locations. The terrain is deeply intertwined with its waterways, shown through numerous named creeks like Chaptico Run and Manahowic Cr. The transition from land to water is marked by distinctive features such as Stoddard Bar and White Point Island, illustrating the shifting shoreline of the Potomac river system.
