About this map

Chestertown and Centerville anchor this 1920 military survey of the Eastern Shore, illustrating a landscape defined by its intricate peninsulas and landings. The map reveals a sophisticated maritime-dependent economy, with numerous family-named wharves and landings such as Vickers Whf, Learys Mill Whf, and Bogles Wharf dotting the shorelines of Langford Bay and the Chester River. These points served as vital interfaces between the agricultural interior and Chesapeake Bay shipping routes.
