2011 Map of Honga

About this map

Hooper Islands stretch across the brackish waters of the Honga River and the Chesapeake Bay in this coastal Dorchester County study. The narrow, linear settlements of Fishing Creek and Hoopersville are connected by Hoopersville Rd, illustrating a community deeply tied to the water. This maritime geography is further defined by isolated landforms like Wroten Island, which contains the Wroten Island Airport, and the Hooper Island Lighthouse standing offshore. To the east, the mainland communities of Lakesville and Crapo are marked by their own infrastructure, including the Crapo Post Office. The map captures a landscape of marshy fingers and points, such as Parks Neck and Kirwan Neck, where the land yields to an intricate network of tidal coves including Bently Cove and Lakers Cove.
