1904 Map of Sharps Island

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

Sharps Island sits at the center of this maritime survey, illustrating the vulnerable coastal geography of the Chesapeake Bay at the start of the twentieth century. The map captures a critical period for water-dependent communities like Tilghman, Avalon, and Fairbank on Tilghman Island, where the Tilghman Island Landing served as a vital link for the local economy. The intricate shoreline of Barron Neck and the numerous coves such as Pawpaw Cove and Dun Cove reveal a landscape deeply integrated with the estuary's tidal rhythms.
