About this map

Berlin serves as the inland hub for this coastal Maryland landscape, situated at the junction of the Penn Central railroad and significant local thoroughfares like the Baltimore and Eastern Road. The town's historical fabric is evident in landmarks such as the Buckingham Cem and the Stephen Decatur Monument, honoring the local naval hero. Surrounding the town, smaller settlements like Germantown, Briddletown, and Taylorville dot a terrain defined by complex waterways and low-lying peninsulas.

The geography transitions from farmland into the marshy reaches of Golden Quarter Neck and Lower Sinepuxent Neck, eventually meeting the waters of Newport Bay and Newport Creek. Notable leisure and industrial sites from the late 1960s are present, including the Ocean Downs Raceway, the Ocean City Airport, and a seaside Amusement Park. Along the eastern edge, the northern tip of Assateague Island is visible across Sinepuxent Bay, illustrating the area's maritime orientation.
