1905 Map of Hurlock
USGS Topo · Published 1928About this map
The Choptank River and Marshyhope Creek define the geography of the Eastern Shore in this early twentieth-century study, where deep-water navigation meets inland rail commerce. At Hurlock, the intersection of the Baltimore Chesapeake and Atlantic Railroad and the Cambridge and Seaford Railroad creates a vital transportation hub for Dorchester County. The map documents an era of river-based logistics, tracing a Steamboat Route past Steamboat Landing and Jamaica Pt. Smaller settlements like Linchester, Federalsburg, and East New Market are shown in detail, alongside rural landmarks such as Shiloh Church and the Wheatley Camp Ground. The detailed surveying reveals the complex network of tidal creeks and branches, including Hunting Creek and the Chicamacomico River, that shaped the region's early agricultural and industrial development.
