About this map

Wye Island and the intricate riverine network of the Eastern Shore dominate this early century survey, capturing the complex geography of the Wye River and Miles River. The landscape is defined by its maritime connections, showing established landings such as Probasco Landing and Skipton Landing that served as vital tidewater transport hubs. Further inland, the agricultural character of the region is evident in small settlements like Wye Mills and Tunis Mills, where the local economy centered on milling along the numerous creeks.
