1973 Map of Terrapin Sand Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Tangier Sound dominates this mid-1970s orthophotomap, showing the intricate interface between the Chesapeake Bay's open waters and the marshy archipelago of Somerset County. The northern reaches of Smith Island are prominently featured, where the Martin National Wildlife Refuge encompasses a network of tidal guts such as Jones Ridge Cr and Otter Creek. This specific survey, derived from 1972 aerial photography, provides a literal photographic look at the shifting shorelines of Terrapin Sand Pt and Webster Pt before contemporary erosion further altered these low-lying landforms.
