2023 Map of Richland Point

About this map

The Hooper Islands chain dominates this maritime landscape where the Chesapeake Bay meets the intricate waterways of Dorchester County. This coastal survey highlights the precarious nature of the lower Eastern Shore, focusing on Middle Hooper Island and Lower Hooper Island. The map records several family-named or descriptive landmarks that point to a long history of local navigation and subsistence, including Barbeque Point, Eel Hope Point, and the somberly named Mens Burial Point. The narrow water passage known as The Thorofare separates these landmasses, illustrating the tidal dependency of the area. Further south across open water, Eagle Point stands as a lonely marker along the boundary with St. Mary's County. The lack of inland roads emphasizes a world shaped entirely by the surrounding bay and its shifting shorelines.
