Looks like a Box Turtle

Lesson for the day-
In MD, 19 species of turtles find homes in small ponds, non-tidal and tidal wetlands, woodlands, streams, rivers and bogs. Actually there are 3 groups of turtles in Maryland:

True turtles, which spend some or all of their time in water
Tortoises that live on land
Terrapins which are limited to Maryland's tidal marshes and waters.
