In addition to general stores, shops, markets, and other mercantile establishments, we identified these miscellaneous enterprises in the Choptank River Heritage area:
- Banks
- Creameries
- Fish Hatcheries
- Fisheries
- Foundries
- Hotels
- Ice Houses
- Millineries
- Newspapers
- Printers
- Plant Nurseries
- Shipwrecks

We identified these sites primarily by georeferencing the 1875 Isler and 1897 Saulsbury maps of Caroline County.
