1964 Map of Tingles Island

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Assateague Island serves as a dominant natural barrier in this mid-1960s coastal survey, separating the high energy of the Atlantic Ocean from the expansive tidal flats of the mainland interior. This coastal landscape is defined by the shallow waters of Chincoteague Bay, Sinepuxent Bay, and Newport Bay, which provided the foundation for local maritime livelihoods. On the mainland, the Stephen Decatur Memorial Road leads toward the settlement of Newport, while the Golf and Yacht Club indicates the early development of recreational infrastructure near Gibbs Pond. A 1972 photorevision adds further detail to the shifting shorelines of Tingles Island and the neighboring Outward Tump, revealing the dynamic nature of these marshlands. The presence of Assateague State Park and designated locations like North Beach highlight the area's transition into a preserved natural space alongside traditional sites like Lumber Marsh.
