2011 Map of Tilghman

About this map

Tilghman Island dominates this maritime landscape of the Maryland Eastern Shore, connected to the mainland by a narrow bridge at Deep Harbor. The island's culture is centered on the settlements of Tilghman, Avalon, and Fairbank, where the proximity to Chesapeake Bay has long defined local life. Important community landmarks such as the Tilghman Island Cemetery and Saint Johns Cemetery provide touchpoints for local family history. To the east, the peninsula across Harris Creek features the community of Neavitt, complete with its own Neavitt Post Office. The map captures a complex shoreline of points and necks, from Blackwalnut Point in the south to the marshy reaches of Seth Point and Turkey Neck Point. These geographic features, along with landings like Avalon Island Landing, reflect the area's enduring reliance on the water for transport and recreation.
