2019 Map of Hobbs

About this map

The Choptank River forms the western boundary of this landscape, carving through the Maryland Eastern Shore where the water-based trade routes of previous centuries meet modern agricultural life. Scattered across the Caroline County interior are small, historic settlements such as American Corner, Andersontown, and Concord, each serving as a crossroads for the surrounding farms. The local genealogy is well-documented through numerous burial grounds, including the Ames Methodist Cem, Todds Chapel Cem, and Saint Paul Cem, which anchor the small communities and provide a sense of long-standing family lineage in the region. The map highlights a network of drainage branches and creeks like Watts Creek and Fowling Cr that feed into the Choptank, defining the low-lying terrain. Towards the south, Smithville Community Lake and Lake Pinehurst offer distinct water features within an otherwise creek-dominated hydrology.
