1942 Map of Easton

About this map

The Eastern Shore town of Easton serves as the focal point of this 1942 survey, revealing a landscape defined by its deep connection to the Chesapeake's tidal tributaries. The town’s early twentieth-century growth is marked by its position at the intersection of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Baltimore and Eastern line, with the Easton Airport appearing to the north. Waterfront life is concentrated along the Tred Avon River and Miles River, where numerous tidal creeks like Glebe Creek and Dixon Creek reach into the surrounding farmland.
