2023 Map of Bombay Hook Island
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Woodland Beach sits at the terminus of Woodland Beach Rd on the edge of the Delmarva Peninsula, where the land yields to an intricate network of marshes and tidal guts. This coastal environment is defined by expansive wetland management areas, including Shearness Pool and Raymond Pool, which are separated from the Delaware Bay by a thin margin of sediment and shoreline. The landscape is a mosaic of family-named necks and points, such as Whitehall Neck and Raymond Neck, tracing the historical agricultural and maritime fringes of Kent County. The intricate hydrology of the area is mapped through countless named waterways like Slooch Ditch, Wier Gut, and the Dutch Neck Canal, illustrating a region where artificial drainage and natural flow intersect. Offshore, the map tracks hazardous shallows including Arnold Point Shoal and Ship John Shoal, marking the transition into the deeper waters of the bay.
