2019 Map of Bloodsworth Island

About this map

Hog Island and its neighbors form a complex chain of marshes and coastal landforms where the Honga River meets the Hooper Strait. The small communities of Crocheron and Bishops Head are the primary settlements, with Crocheron Rd providing the main overland access to the Bethany Methodist Cem. South of the strait, the landscape transitions into the large expanse of Bloodsworth Island, characterized by intricate waterways like Swan Pond Creek and Long Creek. The presence of Phillips Gunning Club Rd on Hog Island highlights the area's tradition as a waterfowl hunting destination. This marshy archipelago includes numerous smaller landmasses such as Billys Island, Pone Island, and Adam Island, illustrating the highly fragmented shoreline of the lower Chesapeake Bay and the Tangier Sound boundary.
