About this map

The intricate shoreline of Dorchester County, Maryland, is defined by the labyrinthine reaches of the Little Choptank River and Fishing Creek. This coastal landscape is home to small, historic waterfront communities like Madison, Woolford, and Church Creek, many of which maintain their own post offices and local landmarks. The area's cultural history is preserved in several burial grounds, including the Saint Johns Chapel Cemetery near Kilmaurie and the Antioch Cemetery near Dailsville.

Distinctive maritime and rural features dot the landscape, from the Spocott Windmill at Lloyds to the specialized aviation at Pokety Airport and Horn Point Airport. The geography is a complex network of peninsulas and necks, such as Woolford Neck and Town Point Neck, which have historically shaped the settlement patterns of this tidewater region. Family-named landmarks like Sharpes Point and McKeil Point further ground the map in its local genealogy.
