Poplar Island

Off Tilghman Island, MD.

It was an island that disappeared, eaten away by the Chesapeake Bay's winds, tides and storms until only a small portion was left.

Army Corps of Engineers is rebuilding it and creating a wildlife refuge. The island is made up from the dirt dredged from the Baltimore channel.

Poplar Island once a 200 acre island teeming with birds and was a hunting preserve for politicians in the 1930s.
