2014 Map of Denton

About this map

The Choptank River serves as the primary artery for this portion of the Eastern Shore, winding past historic river-focused settlements such as Greensboro and the county seat of Denton. The river's influence on local development is evident in the numerous landings that dot its banks, including Brick Wall Landing, Passapae Landing, and Smith Landing, marking locations once vital for waterborne commerce. Inland, the agricultural landscape is anchored by crossroads communities like Townsends Cross Roads and Holly Corner, while aviation facilities such as Ridgely Airpark and Spiering Airport illustrate modern connectivity. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites documented, ranging from the Old Saint Lukes Cem and Saint Elizabeths Cem in the south to the Greensboro Cem and Spring Grove Cem further north, providing a clear record of established local families.
