About this map

Harris Creek and Eastern Bay define this wartime portrait of Maryland's Eastern Shore, where the land is deeply feathered by tidal coves and necks. The maritime economy of the early 1940s is evident in the alignment of the Claiborne-Romancoke Ferry and the presence of Lowes Wharf. Small settlements like Wittman and Sherwood serve as local hubs, anchored by community institutions such as St Johns Church and the Wittman Sch.

Transport networks of the era connect the shoreline to the interior via the Baltimore and Eastern railroad, which includes the McDaniel RR Sta. The landscape is a network of family-named points and coves, from Wades Pt down to Bozman. This survey, compiled from air photographs by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, documents the intricate coastal geography of Talbot County before modern development altered the rural character of these peninsula communities.
