1942 Map of Saxis

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Saxis Island and the surrounding marshlands of Pocomoke Sound define this 1942 survey of the Eastern Shore's tidal edge. The settlement of Saxis is accessible via a single road corridor that cuts through the Free School Marsh, connecting the island fishing community to inland villages like Sanford and Grotons. This landscape is heavily shaped by its water-dependent geography, featuring intricate networks of tidal creeks such as Messongo Creek and Holdens Creek that weave through the Richardson Marsh and Michael Marsh.
