2022 Map of Saxis
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Saxis Island stands as a distinct topographic anchor where the Chesapeake Bay meets Pocomoke Sound. This marshy coastal landscape is defined by its intricate network of tidal guts and bays, including Robin Hood Bay and Beasley Bay, which separate the mainland settlements of Sanford and Messongo from the island itself. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites on the island, including Justice Cem, Baptist Churchyard Cem, Drewer Cem, and Ellis Cem, suggesting a long-established community that maintained its traditions in this maritime environment.
