Crisfield and its neighboring waterside settlements occupy the intricate marshlands and peninsulas of Somerset County, where the Little Annemessex River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The map documents a cluster of distinct local communities, including Sackertown, Lawsonia, and Byrdtown, which are tied together by coastal roads like Byrdtown Rd and S Somerset Ave. The landscape is defined by its tidal geography, featuring extensive wetlands such as Lawson Marsh and Ware Point Marsh, alongside numerous guts and ponds that illustrate the region's historical reliance on the water.
