About this map

Agricultural crossroads and family-named junctions define this section of the Delmarva Peninsula along the boundary of Maryland and Delaware. The map centers on the border between Caroline Co and Kent Co, where small settlements like Burrsville and Whiteleysburg anchor a landscape patterned by ancient drainage networks. Waterways such as Marshyhope Creek and the Burrsville Branch wind through low-lying terrain, flanked by numerous prongs and ditches that reflect centuries of local land management.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of community centers, including Cedar Grove Church and the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church. The record of local burial sites is particularly thorough, noting the Union Memorial Cem, Cedar Grove Cem, and the Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church Cem. The presence of Hrupsa Airport and numerous named intersections like Schultie Crossroads and Hopkins Corners illustrates the enduring importance of these rural hubs in the modern era.
