2011 Map of Langford Creek

About this map

Chester River dominates this landscape of the Maryland Eastern Shore, where winding tidal tributaries like Grays Inn Creek and Lankford Creek create a jagged shoreline of points and necks. The map documents a rural waterfront economy transitioning between traditional maritime activities and recreational land use, visible in the proximity of Learys Wharf and Spaniards Landing to modern facilities like the Lankford Bay Marina. Large agricultural holdings and named estates such as Pioneer Point Farms and Bulle Rock Farm occupy the fertile ground between the creeks, while small settlements like New Yarmouth, Crosby, and McKinleyville anchor the inland crossroads. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies specific landmarks like Gouldtown Cemetery and family-named features such as Crawford's Chance Farm, providing a detailed look at the land-water interface of Queen Anne’s County.
