About this map

The coastal marshlands and barrier islands of Worcester County are defined by the expansive Assateague Island National Seashore, which stretches along the Atlantic coast. This landscape is a complex network of shallow bays and tidal inlets, including Sinepuxent Bay and Chincoteague Bay, separated by the thin ribbon of Assateague Island. Inland, the community of Newport South sits near several necks of land, such as Newport Neck and Peters Neck, that reach into the surrounding waters.

The map reveals a shifting environment of small islands and landmarks like Tingles Island, Crow Tump, and Lumber Marsh Island. These features, along with Tingles Narrows and Spence Cove, illustrate the intricate geography of the Maryland shoreline. The presence of numerous ponds, including multiple instances of Wallops Pond, suggests a terrain where land and water are constantly meeting, providing a detailed record of this coastal region's unique topography.
