About this map

Tilghman Island is the center of this 1942 maritime survey, anchored by the settlements of Tilghman, Avalon, and Fairbank. The island is separated from the mainland district of Bay Hundred No 5 by Knapps Narrows, where the Tilghman Island Landing facilitates transit. The survey highlights a landscape dominated by the water economy, featuring the Dogwood Harbor and a Weather Bureau Tower at Bar Neck.

Across Harris Creek, the mainland community of Neavitt sits near Balls Creek in the district of St Michaels No 2. This era of the Chesapeake coastline is meticulously documented through air photographs, showing landmarks like the Sharps Island Lighthouse in the Chesapeake Bay and the isolated Cook Point on Neck No 8 across the Choptank River. The map also identifies local spiritual centers like Peoples Chapel and Southern Me Ch.
