1942 Map of Claiborne

About this map

Claiborne stands at the hub of this coastal survey, where the Baltimore and Eastern RR meets the waters of the Eastern Bay. The map records a moment when the Romancoke Ferry still connected the mainland of Talbot County to the southern tip of Kent Island. To the south, the landscape is defined by the deep inlets of Harris Creek and Broad Creek, which carve the shoreline into narrow necks of land occupied by the rural communities of McDaniel, Wittman, and Sherwood.
