2023 Map of Saint Michaels

About this map

St. Michaels anchors this detailed study of the Talbot County coastline, where the land fragmentizes into numerous necks and points reaching into the Chesapeake Bay and the Miles River. The intricate relationship between land and water is evident in the many protected coves such as Long Haul Creek and Tide Mill Cove, which historical local economies relied upon for transport and industry. Small historic settlements like Tunis Mills, Copperville, and Unionville are mapped alongside significant genealogical sites, including the Saint Stephens Graveyard and Deshields Methodist Cem. The map traces the winding paths of Saint Michaels Rd and Royal Oak Rd, connecting these waterfront communities. Further north, the Wye East River separates the mainland from Wye Island, highlighting the geographic isolation and specialized shoreline development characteristic of Maryland's Eastern Shore.
