1943 Map of Cambridge
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Cambridge serves as the focal point of this Eastern Shore survey, situated where the expansive Choptank River meets the Chesapeake's intricate network of tidal creeks. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted maritime and agricultural economy, with the Choptank River Bridge providing a vital link to Talbot County. In the hinterlands of Dorchester County, small communities like Christs Rock and Mt Holly are connected by rural roads, while the southern reaches transition into the marshy wetlands near the Little Blackwater River. This 1943 documentation captures the region before mid-century modernization, preserving the locations of local landmarks such as the County Fairgrounds, the State Hospital, and the path of the Pennsylvania railroad. Genealogists will find significant value in the identified burial grounds, including Bethel Cem, Greenlawn Cem, and Dorchester Cem.
