1968 Map of Goose Island

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Tangier Island and the surrounding waters of the Chesapeake Bay are documented in this topographic-bathymetric study based on data from the late 1960s. The map captures the delicate relationship between the land and the sea on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, detailing the small settlement of Tangier and its essential maritime markers like the Light at the Tangier North Channel. To the north, Goose Island and the protective enclave of Goose Harbor are delineated alongside distinctive coastal features such as The Flats and Rum Pt. This specific edition is particularly notable for its underwater depth contours, added in 1986 to the original 1968 land survey, providing a rare look at the shifting shoals and submerged landscape of the bay that define life in this isolated island community.
