Tangier Island and its surrounding archipelago define this maritime landscape in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. The settlement of Tangier is clustered along a series of narrow land strips, including Main Ridge, West Ridge, and Canton Ridge, connected by local thoroughfares like Ridge Rd and Tangier Rd. This 2022 survey captures the fragile geography of the region, where numerous guts and channels like Toms Gut and Fishing Gut weave through the marshland.
