About this map

Choptank River frontage defines the western edge of this Caroline County landscape, where historical landings such as Pealiquor Landing and Potters Landing speak to a long reliance on the waterway. In the early 21st century, the area remains characterized by small agricultural hubs like American Corner and Concord, connected by a dense network of country roads. The hydrology of the region is prominent, from the wide reach of Williston Lake created by the Williston Mill Dam to the winding courses of Watts Creek and Fowling Creek.

Genealogists will find numerous burial sites including Todds Chapel Cemetery, Concord Cemetery, and Ames Cemetery near Hobbs. The map also documents modern recreation and industry, featuring the Peninsula Girls Scout Camp, Martinak State Park, and the Houghton Airport south of Agner. This survey provides a clear view of the intersection between traditional Eastern Shore landings and the persistent rural crossroads that form the backbone of the county.
