1944 Map of Fowling Creek

About this map

The Choptank River and Tuckahoe Creek form the central geography of this mid-shore landscape, defining the boundary between Talbot and Caroline Counties. The river system served as a primary artery for trade and travel, evidenced by the numerous landings and wharves that dot the shoreline, including Ganey Wharf, Todd Wharf, and Wings Landing. These sites reflect an era when water-based transport was vital to the local economy, connecting agricultural areas like Kittys Corner and Matthews to wider markets.
