About this map

The northern reaches of Maryland's Eastern Shore are defined by a series of distinct peninsulas between the Elk River, Bohemia River, and Sassafras River. This landscape, characterized by "necks" of land like Pearce Neck and Grove Neck, reflects a history deeply tied to these waterways. On the western edge, Elk Neck State Park encompasses Mauldin Mtn, while residential development appears in waterfront communities such as Crystal Beach and West View Shores.

Central to the inland area is the village of Earleville, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural tracts. Further south, the map captures the community of Cecilton at a key road junction. Local religious and social history is anchored by St Pauls Ch, St Stephens Ch, and St Marks Ch. Along the shoreline, sites like Cassidy Wharf and Ford Landing indicate a long-standing reliance on the river for transport and commerce.
