1942 Map of Claiborne

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Eastern Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the intricate shoreline of the Chesapeake reveals a maritime landscape of protected coves and narrow necks. The mapping, based on 1940s photography and updated in the 1980s, documents the established communities of Claiborne, McDaniel, and Wittman along the peninsula. A complex network of waterways, including Harris Creek and Broad Creek, defines the geography, separating points of land like Wades Point and Long Point.

Social centers are anchored by local landmarks such as St Johns Ch and James Ch, while the southern reaches show smaller islands like Poplar Island and Coaches Island. The presence of a Landing Strip near Wittman and the numerous named coves—such as Ferry Cove and Waterhole Cove—suggest a region deeply tied to both aviation and waterborne transport. This record preserves the mid-century footprint of Talbot County's bayside settlements.
