2022 Map of Goose Island

About this map

Chesapeake Bay waters dominate this maritime survey, where the convergence of major waterways defines the geography of the lower Eastern Shore. The map highlights the sparse landforms remaining at the mouth of the Little Annemessex River, including the narrow stretch of Goose Island and the adjacent shoreline at Rum Point. This specific coastal perspective captures the transition from the expansive bay into the tidal channels of the Potomac River and Little Wicomico River. The presence of The Flats underscores the shallow, shifting bathymetry characteristic of this region, providing essential context for those studying the evolving shoreline and maritime hazards in Accomack County.
