About this map

The Choptank River and Tuckahoe Creek form the primary geographic and political spine of this region, marking the boundary between Talbot and Caroline counties. These waterways have long shaped the settlement patterns of the Eastern Shore, as evidenced by the series of riverfront locations including Providence Landing, Kingston Landing, and Wings Landing. Away from the riverbanks, the landscape is dotted with small communities such as Tuckahoe Springs and Cordova, connected by a network of rural roads like Bethlehem Rd and Tuckahoe Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named sites and burial grounds across the quadrangle. From the Fairview Cem in the north near Chapel Woods to the Union Grove Cem in the south, these landmarks provide a detailed look at the area's rural heritage. Aviation history is also represented through smaller facilities like Ewing Airport and Dileo Field Airport, which sit alongside traditional landmarks like the Tuckahoe Bridge.
