Eastern Shore Information:
Counties in 1795

Each county map here is from the Dennis Griffith map of Maryland in the Library of Congress Map Collection... it's an amazing and beautiful piece of workmanship for its day.

The inline maps on each page are JPEGs approximately 250K in size. There is also a link to a second version of the same map. This second map is bigger when printed out and has also been only slightly compressed.

...it's probably a good idea to use your browser's "Download Link to Disk" command on this second link as these files are 1-2MB in size.

 

Symbols on the Map

	Griffith used these symbols on his map to show features such as mills and taverns.

Maryland Counties:
Kent & Cecil   Queen Anne's & Talbot   Caroline & Dorchester   Somerset and Worcester   appear online here.
Delaware's Three Counties   Less detail, but still useful and   quite interesting. Click here.
