2016 Map of Rock Hall

About this map

Rock Hall and its surrounding Eastern Shore landscapes are defined by an intricate network of tidal creeks and coves feeding into the Chesapeake Bay. The coastline near Tolchester Beach and Mitchell Bluff transitions inland to a mosaic of farmland and small communities like Fairlee, Georgetown, and Edesville. This area is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of numerous historic burial grounds including Saint Pauls Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Hadaway Chapel Cem. The map illustrates the hydraulic character of the region, from the Intracoastal Waterway to the enclosed waters of Saint Pauls Millpond and The Haven. Large agricultural and conservation tracts, such as Remington Farms, occupy the interior, while the shoreline is punctuated by numerous named points and coves, including Whale Point and Graveyard Cove, reflecting a long history of maritime activity and local land ownership along West Fork Langford Creek.
