1904 Map of Sharps Island

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

Tilghman Island dominates this coastal survey, serving as a hub of activity at the meeting point of the Chesapeake Bay and the Choptank River. The map details a maritime landscape defined by small water-dependent settlements such as Tilghman, Avalon, and Fairbank. Of particular interest is the presence of Sharps Island and its landmark Sharps Island L.H., providing a historical record of the bay's islands before significant shoreline erosion changed their profiles. The intricate network of tidal waterways, including Harris Creek and Broad Creek, illustrates the complex geography of Talbot Co. and Dorchester Co.. Navigation and local commerce are marked by features like the Tilghman Island Landing, reflecting the essential connection between the land and the surrounding waters during the early 20th century.
