About this map

Assateague Island stretches across this mid-1960s survey, illustrating the complex coastal geography where Maryland and Virginia meet. The landscape is dominated by the marshlands and tidal channels of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, featuring intricate waterways like Middlemoor Ditch and the Thorofare. On the leeward side of the barrier island, small family-named landmarks and landings such as Scotts Landing and Scotts Point mark the transition from the mainland-facing Chincoteague Bay to the marshy interior. The map documents a pristine coastal environment before significant modern development, preserving the locations of remote spots like Pope Island and the Pirate Islands. These features highlight the area's long history as a maritime resource, where the balance between the Atlantic Ocean and the sheltered bays defined local life and navigation.
