About this map

Burrsville and Whiteleysburg anchor a landscape defined by the intersection of the Maryland-Delaware border and the Caroline and Kent county lines. The terrain is a network of agricultural crossroads and small rural settlements, including Schultie Crossroads, Hollandsville, and Brownsville. Numerous unnamed cemeteries and rural churches like Manship Ch, Union Ch, and Wesley Ch are scattered throughout the quadrangle, indicating a deeply rooted community infrastructure.

Water management and natural drainage dictate the layout of the land, with systems such as Marshyhope Creek, Gravelly Branch, and the Garey Mill Pond providing key landmarks. The map also reveals the local geography of glades and prongs, such as Brights Glade Prong No 2 and Shields Prong, alongside a complex series of ditches that suggest the history of agricultural land reclamation in this border region.
