DESCRIPTION : THIS BEAUTIFUL COLORED ORTHOPHOTOMAP OF TANGIER SOUND FROM SMITH ISLAND AND JANES ISLAND STATE PARK NORTH TO LITTLE DEAL ISLAND, MARYLAND WAS PREPARED BY THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY FROM AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN APRIL 5, 1972. THE TOPOGRAPHY WAS BY PHOTOGRAMMETRIC METHODS FROM AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN IN 1972 AND FIELD CHECKED THAT YEAR. THE BATHYMETRY WAS COMPILED BY THE NATIONAL OCEAN SERVICE FROM TIDE- COORDINATED HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYS. SOME HYDROGRAPHIC DATA IS FROM USC&GS CHART # 555 DATED 1972, BUT BECAUSE OF THE ABSENCE OF AIDS TO NAVIGATION AND OTHER HYDROGRAPHIC INFORMATION, THIS MAP IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN NAVIGATION. THE BATHYMETRY WAS ADDED TO THIS MAP IN 1986.

THE MAP IS ON THE 1927 NORTH AMERICAN DATUM, WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO CONVERT TO THE NORTH AMERICAN 1983 DATUM BY MOVING THE PROJECTION LINES 9 METERS SOUTH AND 30 METERS WEST.

THIS MAP IS ONE OF A LARGE SERIES ON A SCALE OF 1:24,000 PRODUCED BY THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

EDITION & STATE INFO : THIS MAP WAS DONE IN 1972 AND UPDATED IN 1986 BY THE ADDITION OF BATHYMETRIC INFORMATION. IT SUPERSEDES AN ARMY MAP SERVICE MAP DATED 1942.

HFC OWNERSHIP DATA : THE HUNTINGFIELD COLLECTION HAS A GOOD COLORED COPY OF THIS MAP WITH AN ACQ. # OF NOAA010-GIFT AND A MDHR # OF MSA SC1399-843.
