1981 Map of Golden Hill

About this map

Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge dominates this Dorchester County landscape, revealing an intricate network of marshes and tidal waterways as they appeared in the early 1980s. The geography is defined by the expansive Honga River and the winding Blackwater River, which carve out numerous necks and islands such as Wheatley Neck and Taylors Island. The map documents the persistent human presence within this water-logged environment, showing small communities like Golden Hill, Woolford, and Harrisville connected by roads that skirt the edge of Piney Swamp and Moneystump Swamp. Notable landmarks for local historians include St Marys Star of the Sea Ch near the southern coast and the South Dorchester Sch. This orthophotomap provides a clear view of the intersection between established settlements and the shifting marshlands of Great Marsh and Russell Swamp.
