About this map

The Choptank River serves as the central artery for this part of Caroline County, winding through a landscape defined by riverside settlements and agricultural crossings. The town of Denton sits on the eastern bank, connected to West Denton and Tuckahoe Neck by a bridge at Pigg Point. To the north, Greensboro stands at another vital junction where the river narrows, surrounded by established local landmarks such as the Greensboro Cem and Spring Grove Cem.

Evidence of the area's hydraulic and milling history persists in labels like Sewell Mills and Garey Mill Pond Branch, while Garland Lake and its accompanying Chapel Bridge mark the headwaters of Chapel Branch. The map also documents the aviation footprint of the region, featuring both Ridgely Airpark and the smaller Spiering Airport. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road network and drainage patterns that have shaped these Eastern Shore communities.
