2023 Map of Claiborne

About this map

The Claiborne-Romancoke Ferry route spans the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay, connecting the southern tip of Kent Island to the mainland of the Eastern Shore. This maritime corridor defines the region's geography, linking the community of Romancoke with the historic harbor at Claiborne. The landscape is a complex network of necks and points, where small settlements like McDaniel and Sherwood are situated along narrow peninsulas bounded by Harris Creek and Cummings Creek. Local heritage is anchored by landmarks such as the John Wesley Methodist Church and the Saint James Cem near Sherwood. The map captures the intricate shoreline of the Maryland coast, from the sheltered Holligans Snooze Inlet to the exposed reaches of Bloody Point, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to the water.
