2014 Map of Trappe

About this map

The southern outskirts of Easton and the surrounding Chesapeake Bay tributaries define this portion of the Delmarva Peninsula. The landscape is deeply incised by tidal water bodies such as Peachorchard Cove and Prices Cove, where waterfront settlements like Waverly Island Estates and Peach Orchard have developed. The interior is characterized by a high density of small family or community burial grounds, including the curiously named Hole-in-the Wall Cem and Queen Esther Cem. This pattern suggests a long history of independent farmsteads and rural clusters like Hambleton and Ivytown that predate modern suburban expansion. Further south, the town of Trappe serves as a local hub near La Trappe Heights, while Trappe Landing on Lowry Cove points to the area's historical reliance on maritime transit and commerce along the numerous necks and points of the shoreline.
