About this map

Assateague Island is defined here by its windswept landscape of Sand Dunes and tidal marshes along the Maryland and Virginia border. The map captures a moment when human presence was focused on maritime safety and small-scale landings, notably at Pope Coast Guard Station and the isolated settlement at Scotts Landing. The intricate shoreline of Chincoteague Bay reveals a network of shallow-water features including Rum Harbor Marsh, the Pirate Islands, and Middlemoor, illustrating the complex coastal geography before major modern developments changed the barrier island's character.
