Tilghman Island defines this maritime landscape, separated from the Maryland mainland by Knapps Narrows and bounded by the vast Chesapeake Bay. The settlement patterns here are deeply tied to the water, with the communities of Tilghman, Avalon, and Fairbank clustered along the western shore. Local history is anchored at sites like Saint Johns Chapel Cem and the Tilghman Island Cem, while the aviation history of the island is marked by the Tilghman Whipp Airport at the north end near Dun Cove.
