About this map

Tangier Sound dominates this mid-war hydrographic study, illustrating the intricate marshlands and tidal reaches of the Chesapeake Bay's eastern shore. At the northern edge, Little Deal Island and the surrounding waters of Deal Island No 14 show a landscape defined by points and creeks, including Pin Pt and Piney Creek. This area was surveyed at a maximum ground elevation of only two feet, highlighting the precarious nature of these low-lying coastal features during the early 1940s.

Further south, the complex shoreline of Smith Island No 10 is revealed through its network of waterways like Otter Creek and Joes Ridge Creek. This map preserves the mid-century names of several maritime landmarks, such as Terrapin Sand Point and the mouth of the Manokin River. The inclusion of designated areas like Crisfield No 7 and Fairmount No 6 provides a look at the administrative and geographic divisions used by the War Department and U.S. Army during this era.
