2011 Map of East New Market

About this map

Secretary and East New Market anchor this coastal Dorchester County landscape, where the Warwick River and Goose Creek feed into the broad Choptank River. The map documents a classic Eastern Shore layout of small crossroads settlements and water-oriented points, such as Secretarys Point and Oystershell Point. The transportation network is defined by traditional corridors like Linkwood Road and the Railroad Road, connecting interior hamlets like Hawkeye and Linkwood to the waterfront. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial grounds, including Salem Cemetery and the Mount Pleasant Cemetery. The presence of the Higgins Millpond Dam on the Transquaking River highlights the historical importance of local water management and milling in this tidewater region, while riverside landmarks like Hughletts Landing recall the area's long-standing maritime character.
