1954 Map of Shellman Bluff

About this map

Harris Neck dominates the upper reaches of this coastal landscape, where the Julienton River and Eagle Neck Creek weave through a network of tidal marshes and dense woodlands. The map captures a maritime community defined by its proximity to the water, featuring fishing and landing spots like Shellman Bluff, Gould Landing, and Sutherland Bluff. These bluffs provided essential high-ground access for residents in an era where the local economy relied heavily on the surrounding rivers and sounds.
