About this map

The salt marshes and narrow necks of Dorchester County define this coastal landscape, where the Honga River separates the mainland from a chain of islands. Stretching through the center of the sheet, Upper Hooper Island and Middle Hooper Island are home to traditional waterman communities like Hoopersville and Honga, where multiple spires indicate local churches. The map reflects a maritime economy tied to the Chesapeake Bay, evidenced by a Cannery at Crapo and the small Landing Strip on Wroten Island. This 1942 survey, updated with 1974 revisions, captures the complex interplay of land and water across Meekins Neck and Asquith Island, showing how isolated settlements relied on early state roads like 335 and 336 and boat access through tidal passages like The Canal.
