About this map

Assateague Island National Seashore dominates this coastal landscape, capturing a narrow barrier island stretch between the Atlantic Ocean and the intricate waters of Chincoteague Bay. This 1964 survey, updated with 1980 photorevisions, documents the delicate topography of the Maryland-Virginia border, where the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge provides a managed sanctuary across Middlemoor and Rum Harbor Marsh.

Evidence of human habitation and navigation appears at Scotts Landing and the small Camp near Green Run, while the inner shoreline is defined by naming conventions of local significance like Jims Gut, Whittington Point, and Pirate Islands. The map illustrates the shifting nature of these coastal landforms, from the flat expanse of Fox Hill Level to the tidal channels of the Thorofare, providing a detailed look at the maritime geography of Worcester and Accomack counties before more modern shoreline developments.
