1964 Map of Whittington Point

About this map

Assateague Island stretches across this mid-1960s survey, capturing a thin, wild barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the sheltered waters of Chincoteague Bay. The landscape is dominated by the intricate wetlands and marshes of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge, which spans the border between Worcester County, Maryland, and Accomack County, Virginia. Evidence of coastal life and navigation is scattered along the western lee of the island at Scotts Landing and Green Run, while inland features like Middlemoor and Fox Hill Level suggest the subtle elevation changes that define this sandy environment. Further south, the map details the complex drainage of Rum Harbor Marsh and the Thorofare, leading toward Pope Island at the Virginia state line, reflecting the area's role as a vital habitat and geographic boundary.
