I'm not amazing with IDing salamanders, but I would call this a Slimy Salamander, Plethodon glutinosos. Only problem is its range in Maryland does not include the location you have on this map. This is the Slimy Salamander, http://wwwnew.towson.edu/herpetology/amphibians/Plethodon%20glutinosus.htm And this is the salamanders of Maryland page, http://wwwnew.towson.edu/herpetology/Amphibians.htm

There are not spots on the salamander like a Spotted Salamander, nor is this spotting in range for the Spotted Salamander.
