Crapo : on the Eastern Shore

Delmar : on the Eastern Shore - half in Maryland, half in Delaware. (There's also a Marydel and a Pen Mar.)

Detour : in Carroll County

Gist : in Carroll County

Parole : in Anne Arundel County (Whenever I've passed by, I've wondered if prisoners were once released there en masse. Actually, it was an exchange site for Union and Confederate prisoners of war.)

Peacock Corners : on the Eastern Shore

Pumpkin Center : in Western Maryland

Rabbit Town : on the Eastern Shore

Rising Sun : in Cecil County. (The town was originally called Summer Hill, but a local tavern called The Rising Sun was so popular "that Summer Hill yielded to Rising Sun as the official name of the place" around 1815, according to the Maryland Municipal League.)

Rush : in Western Maryland

Sandy Bottom : on the Eastern Shore

Savage : in Howard County

Sparks : in Baltimore County

Stumptown : in Carroll County
