About this map

Tangier Sound dominates this mid-1970s orthophotomap, showing the complex interplay of water and marshland along the Chesapeake Bay. This topographic-bathymetric study provides a detailed view of the submerged channels and shoals, notably where the Manokin River meets the sound. The landscape is characterized by isolated landforms and protected marsh environments, including the northern portions of Janes Island State Park and the Martin National Wildlife Refuge.

Coastal features such as Little Deal Island and Piney I appear as low-lying fragments in a shifting aquatic environment. Smaller watercourses like Joes Ridge Cr and Barns Landing Cr cut through the marshy interior, reflecting the dynamic nature of Somerset County's shoreline. These 1972 aerial perspectives, updated with 1980s bathymetry, document a wilderness shaped entirely by tides and currents, devoid of the roads and trails found further inland.
