1943 Map of Langford Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Eastern Neck Island and the intricate peninsulas of the Maryland Eastern Shore are captured here during World War II, showing a landscape defined by tidewater access and small farming enclaves. The map detail highlights the importance of the waterfront to local life, with Cliffs Wharf and Earle Landing serving as vital transition points between land and the Corsica River. Inland, the settlement pattern is sparse, focused around community anchors like Raum Chapel, Piney Neck Church, and the Skinners Neck School. This 1942 road data reflects a quiet era for Kent County, where family names like Gouldtown were already etched into the geography. The presence of numerous coves, such as Fryingpan Cove and Burnt House Cove, underscores the drowned-river topography that has long shaped the navigation and commerce of this region.
