1964 Map of Tingles Island

About this map

Assateague Island dominates the eastern half of this coastal landscape, separated from the mainland necks by the expansive waters of Sinepuxent Bay and Chincoteague Bay. This mid-century environment is defined by its shifting sands and tidal marshes, featuring landmarks like Tingles Island and Lumber Marsh nestled behind the barrier beach. On the mainland side, Newport Neck and Peters Neck extend into Newport Bay, where small creeks like Marshall Cr and Catbird Creek drain the low-lying terrain.
