2019 Map of Tingles Island

About this map

Assateague Island National Seashore dominates the eastern landscape of this coastal survey, where the Atlantic barrier beach meets the complex marshlands of Sinepuxent Bay and Chincoteague Bay. This environment is defined by shifting sands and intricate waterways like Tingles Narrows and Buntings Gut, which separate numerous marsh hummocks including Tingles Island, Crow Tump, and Outward Tump. On the mainland to the west, residential development is visible at Golf Club Shores and South Point, contrasting with the protected wilderness of the barrier islands. The transport network reflects the region's geography, with the Verrazano Brg and Stephen Decatur Memorial Rd providing essential access to the shore. For researchers, this 2019 edition provides a precise view of modern coastal topography, detailing family-named landforms such as Cropper Island and Newport Neck before continued sea-level changes alter these low-lying marsh profiles.
