1904 Map of Sharps Island

USGS Topo · Published 1904

About this map

Sharps Island sits at the center of this maritime survey, a landmass that has undergone significant shoreline change since the turn of the century. Located where the Choptank River meets the Chesapeake Bay, the map reveals a landscape defined by tidewater commerce and isolated peninsulas. On the northern neck, settlements like Neavitt and Tilghman serve as hubs for the water-based economy, with the Tilghman Island Landing providing a critical connection to the mainland.

The detailed coastal topography traces the intricate shorelines of Harris Creek and Broad Creek, while the southern reaches identify established communities such as Hudson and James. The inclusion of the Sharps Island L.H. and various district divisions like St. Michaels No 2 and Madison No 16 illustrates the administrative and navigational structure of the Eastern Shore during this era. This survey captures the fragile geography of the bay islands before natural erosion significantly altered the visibility of places like James Island.
