About this map

The town of Berlin serves as the hub of this coastal Maryland landscape, situated west of the sprawling marshes and bays leading to the Atlantic. The region is marked by numerous family-named necks and small settlements like Germantown, Briddletown, and Friendship, reflecting a long history of agricultural and maritime residency. Significant local heritage is preserved in sites such as Saint Pauls Episcopal Church Cem and Buckingham Cem, while newer developments like Ocean Pines and West Ocean City show the area's growth toward the water.

Waterways define the eastern portion of the map, where Turville Creek, Herring Creek, and Trappe Creek drain into Assawoman Bay and Newport Bay. The transition from mainland to coast is further anchored by the Ocean City Municipal Airport and the protected lands of the Assateague Island National Seashore, providing a clear view of the balance between coastal infrastructure and natural preservation.
