USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
Saxis Island defines this section of the Eastern Shore, where the town of Saxis is surrounded by the expansive wetlands of Freeschool Marsh and Pocomoke Sound. This 1960s landscape records a coastal economy rooted in the water, evidenced by numerous landings like Hammock Landing Creek, Flag Pond Landing, and Shad Landing. The complex network of guts and creeks, such as Starling Creek and Mantuan Gut, highlights the intricate relationship between the land and the Chesapeake tides.
