About this map

The town of Berlin serves as the hub for this Worcester County landscape, where the Pennsylvania RR and the Baltimore and Eastern RR intersect. This 1940s topography captures the region's agricultural and industrial character through features like Trappe Millpond and Bassett Millpond, while local heritage is anchored by landmarks such as the Buckingham Cem and Sinepuxent Ch.

Coastal geography dominates the eastern and southern reaches of the sheet, defined by a series of necks including Turville Neck and Upper Sinepuxent Neck. The intricate waterway network of Turville Creek and Newport Bay illustrates the historical reliance on these tidal inlets before mid-century development. Smaller rural settlements like Germantown, Ironshire, and Golden Quarters are shown in their wartime configuration, alongside a U S Army Res and a Racetrack near Taylorville.
