  • Maryland's Lower Choptank River Cultural Resource Inventory
    Maryland’s Lower Choptank River Cultural Resource Inventory by Ralph E. Eshelman and Carl W. Scheffel, Jr. “So long as the tides shall ebb and flow in Choptank River.” From Philemon Downes will, Hillsboro, circa 1796 U.S. Geological Survey Quadrangle 7.5 Minute Topographic maps covering the Lower Choptank River (below Caroline County) include: Cambridge (1988), Church Creek (1982), East New Market (1988), Oxford (1988), Preston (1988), Sharp Island (1974R), Tilghman (1988), and Trappe (1988). Introduction The Choptank River is Maryland’s longest river of the Eastern Shore. The Choptank River was ranked as one of four Category One rivers (rivers and related corridors which possess a composite resource value with greater than State signific ance) by the Maryland Rivers Study Wild and Scenic Rivers Program in 1985. It has been stated that “no river in the Chesapeake region has done more to shape the character and society of the Eastern Shore than the Choptank.” It has been called “the noblest watercourse on the Eastern Shore.” Name origin: “Chaptanck” is probably a composition of Algonquian words meaning “it flows back strongly,” referring to the river’s tidal changes1 Geological Change and Flooded Valleys The Choptank River is the largest tributary of the Chesapeake Bay on the eastern shore and is therefore part of the largest estuary in North America. This Bay and all its tributaries were once non-tidal fresh water rivers and streams during the last ice age (15,000 years ago) when sea level was over 300 feet below present. As climate warmed and glaciers melted northward sea level rose, and the Choptank valley and Susquehanna valley became flooded.

    Angel Enterprises Limited Partnership, et al. v. Talbot County, Maryland, et al., No. 45, September Term, 2020, Opinion by J. Booth IMPOSITION OF CIVIL PENALTIES – ORIGINAL JURISDICTION OVER ADJUDICATION OF PENALTIES IN THE MARYLAND COURTS – JURISDICTION OF BOARD OF APPEALS ESTABLISHED BY CHARTER COUNTY. Talbot County had no authority to confer subject matter jurisdiction upon its Board of Appeals to consider an administrative appeal of civil penalties assessed by the Talbot County Chief Code Compliance Officer. The Maryland General Assembly has not vested boards of appeal established by charter counties with authority to review or consider civil penalties assessed by a code enforcement officer for violations of a county code. Under the applicable Maryland laws, the authority to adjudicate civil penalties arising from violations of a local code enacted by a charter county is within the original jurisdiction of the courts. Because this case originated in the Talbot County Board of Appeals, which did not have jurisdiction over the matter that was the subject of the administrative appeal, the Court of Appeals vacated the judgment and remanded the case to the Board of Appeals with instructions that its decision be vacated and that the assessments be dismissed. Circuit Court for Talbot County Case No.: C-20-CV-18-000011 Argued: April 13, 2021 IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF MARYLAND No. 45 September Term, 2020 ANGEL ENTERPRISES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, et al. v.
