2011 Map of Chicamacomico River

About this map

The Chicamacomico River and Transquaking River dominate this low-lying landscape in Dorchester County, creating a complex network of waterways, marshes, and necks of land. Named necks such as Stanley Neck, Fork Neck, and Buzzard Neck define the local geography, reflecting a long history of water-dependent settlement. At the water's edge, sites like Cedar Landing and Brick House Landing point to the era when these rivers served as primary arteries for transport and commerce. Inland, the map shows several smaller water bodies including Savannah Lake and Parish Pond, interspersed with scattered homesteads and landings.
