1942 Map of Easton
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Easton serves as the focal point of this Maryland Eastern Shore landscape, situated where the Tred Avon River and the Miles River systems reach inland. The 1942 topography, updated with mid-1970s land use changes, reveals a community built upon a complex network of creeks like Goldsborough Creek and Glebe Creek. The map documents the shifting transportation infrastructure of Talbot County, featuring the Pennsylvania Central railroad and an old railroad grade, alongside the developing Easton Municipal Airport. Genealogists and local historians can locate established landmarks such as All Saints Ch, Spring Hill Cem, and Magee Chapel. The surrounding countryside is dotted with historic property names like The Anchorage and Bloomfield, while the waterfront near Easton Point illustrates the deep connection between the town and its navigable tidal waters.
