About this map

Choptank River and Chesapeake Bay waters define this coastal portion of Dorchester County, where land and water meet in a complex network of points, coves, and tidal flats. The settlement of Hudson serves as a local hub near Covey Creek, while the community of Thomas sits further south along the shoreline of Brannock Bay. This 1982 orthophotomap combines traditional topographic data with aerial imagery, revealing the contemporary land use patterns of the era, from agricultural fields to the Landing Strip near James Point.

Remote landforms like James Island and Sharps Island are documented alongside mainland features such as Susquehanna Neck and Hooper Neck. Local transportation is traced via Cooks Point Road and Hills Point Rd, which terminate at the water's edge. This specialized survey provides critical data for those studying the shifting shoreline of the Eastern Shore, illustrating the proximity of family cemeteries and rural homesteads to the encroaching tides of Trippe Bay.
