1903 Map of Bloodsworth Island

USGS Topo · Published 1927

About this map

Bloodsworth Island and the surrounding marshlands of the lower Chesapeake Bay define this 1903 landscape, captured before significant land loss altered the archipelago. The survey details an intricate network of waterways including Hooper Strait and Kedges Straits, vital maritime corridors protected by a series of screw-pile lighthouses like Hooper Strait L.H. and Holland Island Bar L.H.. On Holland Island and Hooper Island, the map records small fishing communities and landing points such as Applegarth and Crocheron during the height of the Chesapeake's oyster and crabbing economy.
