About this map

Newport South sits at the heart of this coastal landscape, where the peninsula of Newport Neck extends toward the confluence of three major estuarine systems. The intricate transition between land and water is defined by Newport Bay, Sinepuxent Bay, and the expansive Chincoteague Bay. This 2011 survey captures the geography of the barrier islands and interior marshes, including smaller features like Tingles Island, Crow Tump, and Outward Tump.

Development patterns are evident in the recreational infrastructure along the shore, such as the Rum Pointe Golf Course and Bayside Campground. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly fragmentary, marked by Lumber Marsh Island and the appropriately named Winter Quarter. The map provides an essential look at Worcester County's shoreline before more recent coastal shifts, documenting the precise location of necks and points like South Point and Island Point that dictate the region's nautical and residential layout.
