DESCRIPTION

A striking U.S. Coast Survey chart of the coast of Maryland from the Isle of Wight to Chincoteague Inlet, Virginia showing numerous soundings, aids and hazards to navigation, points, rocks, islands, lighthouses, vegetation, water bodies, buildings and properties along with a smal inset chart of Cape Henlpen's Delaware Breakwater. Depicted are Assawoman Bay, Isle of Wight Bay, Sinepuxent Bay, and Assateague Bay. IMPORTANT NOTE: All of our United States Coast Survey (USCS), United States Coast & Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), and similar maps and charts have been professionally unfolded and flattened using humidity baths, semi-permeable membrane, and drying blotter techniques. Most others you typically see on eBay have not been, and worse, are quickly and crudely unfolded for the low-quality photos you see. Unfolding these maps in that way is damaging and weakens them. Please be aware.
