2011 Map of Crisfield

About this map

Crisfield occupies a complex amphibious landscape where the Little Annemessex River meets the expansive Pocomoke Sound. This 2011 map details a network of small, established water-side settlements such as Lawsonia, Byrdtown, and Daugherty Town, reflecting the area's deep ties to the Chesapeake Bay seafood and maritime industries. The road network, including Asbury Ave and Lafayette Rd, connects these communities across a terrain fragmented by tidal features like Island Gut and Rushy Ponds. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked Mariners Cemetery and Asbury Cemetery, while the presence of the Crisfield Post Office serves as a central landmark for this coastal hub. The survey captures the intricate shoreline of Jersey Island and Cow Gap Island, illustrating the persistent relationship between these Eastern Shore towns and the shifting marshes of the sound.
