2014 Map of Claiborne

About this map

Chesapeake Bay divides the landscape where the southern tip of Kent Island meets the intricate western shoreline of Talbot County. The eastern shore is characterized by deep inlets and narrow necks, where settlements like Claiborne, McDaniel, and Wittman are situated among a network of tidal waters including Tilghman Creek and Cummings Creek. This modern survey illustrates a balance of residential development and agricultural preservation, with expansive properties such as Broad Creek Farms and Kent Fort Manor maintaining the coastal character of the region. Local heritage is preserved at sites like Saint James Cem near Sherwood and John Wesley Cem near the intersection of Sans Souci Dr. The geography of the inlets creates natural harbors like Indian Harbor and Ferry Cove, while small private airfields like Asplundh Airport serve the more modern logistical needs of the bayside communities.
