About this map

Barren Island and its surrounding archipelago dominate this maritime perspective of the Chesapeake Bay, situated at the intersection of Dorchester, Calvert, and St. Mary's counties. The geography is characterized by an intricate network of tidal wetlands and inlets, including The Big Broads, The Marshes, and Long Marshes near Meekins Neck. The map illustrates the fragile, low-lying nature of this shoreline, where narrow passages like Barren Island Thorofare and Barren Island Gap separate landmasses. Only one primary road, Bay View DR, is identified on the mainland portion, highlighting the area's isolation. Coastal landmarks such as Houston Point, Cove Point, and Cedar Point serve as essential navigation markers for this stretch of the bay, while sheltered waters like Tar Bay and Great Cove define the eastern edge of the islands.
