2023 Map of Trappe

About this map

Trappe and the surrounding neck lands of Talbot County define this landscape of tidal inlets and established crossroads. The region's long memory is preserved through numerous burial grounds, such as Old Whitemarsh Cem and Queen Esther Cem, reflecting the deep roots of the local community. The terrain is deeply fingered by the Choptank River, Tred Avon River, and Trippe Creek, creating distinct geographic enclaves like Baileys Neck and Edmundson Neck. These peninsulas, once critical for waterborne commerce, now host a network of local roads such as Almshouse Rd and White Marsh Rd that connect smaller settlements like Ivytown and Hambleton. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates how the historical footprint of churchyards and family landings remains a structural part of the Maryland Eastern Shore landscape.
