About this map

Choptank River and Little Choptank River define this intricate Maryland landscape, where countless necks and points reach into the brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay's eastern shore. This 1982 orthophotomap combines traditional topographic data with aerial photography, revealing the precise pattern of woodlots and cultivated fields between settlements like Cornersville, Lloyds, and Church Creek. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, marking several legacy burial sites including St Johns Cem Chapel and the Woolford Mace Cem near Woolford.

Industry and education are etched into the shoreline, from the Environmental Center at Horn Pt to the rural crossroads of Dailsville and Wrights. The road network, including Corners Wharf Road and Brannock Neck Road, follows the natural ridges of the land, connecting family-named landmarks like McKeil Pt and Casson Pt. This hybrid map style offers an exceptional view of the 1970s-era land use across Town Neck and Woolford Neck before modern coastal development altered the rural character of the county.
