About this map

Tuckahoe Creek serves as a natural boundary in this landscape, winding between the borders of Queen Anne's, Talbot, and Caroline counties. The map details a cluster of Eastern Shore communities, notably the historic junction of Hillsboro and Queen Anne, where the Tuckahoe Bridge connects the two settlements. To the northeast, the town of Ridgely shows a dense residential grid, flanked by the Ridgely Cem and the nearby Carmean Airport.

Smaller hamlets and rural crossroads such as Thomas Town, Jumptown, and Downes appear alongside family-named landmarks like Buzzard Point and Stony Point. Genealogists will find particular value in the mapped locations of local burial grounds, including Green Mount Cem and Saint Pauls Cem. The geography is defined by a network of drainage branches such as Blackston Br and Mason Br, illustrating the transition from agricultural fields to the marshy lowlands of the Tuckahoe Neck.
