2023 Map of Delmar

About this map

The Delmarva Peninsula serves as the backdrop for this detailed study of the borderlands between Delaware and Maryland. At its heart is the town of Delmar, a unique settlement literally divided by the state line. To the south, the expansion of Salisbury is evident through residential developments like Maple Plains, Westlake, and Chesapeake Heights. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the North Prong Wicomico River and numerous tributaries such as Leonard Pond Run and Peggy Branch. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several burial grounds, including the Nichols Family Cem, Oliphant Cem, and Saint Stephens Cem. The map also captures critical regional infrastructure, from the Bennett Airport to the Deer's Head Hospital complex, illustrating the modern character of this interstate corridor.
