About this map

Cambridge serves as the focal point for this Eastern Shore landscape, situated where the broad Choptank River meets a network of creeks and marshes. The city’s core is marked by civic and spiritual landmarks like the Cambridge Post Office and several historic burial grounds, including Waugh Cemetery and Greenlawn Cemetery. To the north, the water-bound geography of Bolingbroke Neck and Hambrooke Point highlights a long history of maritime access, with Kirby Wharf and Burams Landing serving the river trade.

The map reveals a shift from the urban density of the city center to residential enclaves such as Patamoke Village, Sandy Acres, and Treeland. In the surrounding countryside, the legacy of agricultural estates is visible at Kennedy Farms and Whitehall. This era shows a community balancing its nautical roots at the Choptank River Fishing Pier with modern infrastructure like the Cambridge-Dorchester Airport and the expanding development at Cardtown and Mount Holly.
