2014 Map of Chicamacomico River

About this map

Cedar Landing and Brick House Landing are key points of interest along this portion of the Chicamacomico River, where the Eastern Shore's marshy geography is defined by a series of named necks and reaches. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and tidal tributaries, including Hurlock Creek and Beaverdam Creek, which separate distinct ridges of land such as Stanley Neck, Tripps Neck, and Griffith Neck. The interior topography reveals the agricultural and residential layout of rural Dorchester County, with small settlements like Bestpitch and Cokeland connected by long-established routes including Bestpitch Ferry Rd and Drawbridge Rd. The presence of numerous ponds and islands, such as Julie Pond and Chance Island, underscores the low-lying coastal character of this region, where land use is dictated by the surrounding water and expansive marsh areas like Manning Range.
