USGS Topo · Published 1918About this map
Annapolis and its storied U.S. Naval Academy anchor the northwestern edge of this expansive maritime survey, where the South River meets the open Chesapeake Bay. The map captures the complex shoreline of Maryland’s Eastern Shore before modern bridge spans replaced the steamer and rail reliance of the early twentieth century. Across the Eastern Bay, the landscape is defined by long peninsulas and sheltered inlets, connecting water-oriented settlements like St Michaels, Oxford, and the rail terminus at Claiborne.
