About this map

Berlin serves as a central hub for this coastal Worcester County landscape, situated just inland from the complex marshlands of Assawoman Bay. The map reveals a transition from established town life in neighborhoods like Franklin Heights and Pomona Heights to the sprawling residential developments of Ocean Pines and West Ocean City near the water. For genealogical researchers, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Buckingham Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Saint Pauls Cem, which anchor the local history of the region's founding families.

Water defines the geography here, with Trappe Creek and Beaverdam Creek draining into the coastal bays. The eastern edge of the sheet is dominated by the natural barrier of Assateague Island National Seashore, separated from the mainland by the Sinepuxent Neck. Small aviation facilities such as Bunting's Field Airport and the Ocean City Municipal Airport highlight the area's role as a transit point for the Maryland shore, while old coastal names like Sinepuxent and Golden Quarter Neck reflect the deep maritime heritage of the Chesapeake peninsula.
