2019 Map of Claiborne

About this map

Eastern Bay dominates the center of this maritime landscape, separating the southern tip of Kent Island from the Claiborne peninsula. The map reveals the intricate shoreline of the Chesapeake, where land and water merge through a series of protected inlets and points. Along the western edge, Bloody Point and Kent Point overlook the Poplar Island Narrows, while to the east, the rural settlements of McDaniel and Sherwood are linked by Tilghman Island Road. Local heritage is anchored by sites such as the John Wesley Methodist Church Cem and Saint James Cem, providing valuable touchpoints for genealogical research. The region's connection to aviation and coastal travel is evident in the presence of Kent Fort Manor Airport and Asplundh Airport, alongside numerous family-named coves like Leadenham Creek and Grace Creek that define the local geography.
