2014 Map of Dividing Creek

About this map

Dividing Cr serves as a natural and administrative boundary, threading through the landscape to separate Somerset and Worcester counties. This coastal plain region is marked by small settlements and a network of named branches and creeks, such as Politts Br and Kings Cr. The area around Oakville and Whiteburg shows a persistent rural character, where local history is anchored by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Pusey Cem, Nazareth Cem, and Olivet Cem. To the south, the terrain leads toward West Pocomoke and Cokesbury, with drainage features like Burk Mill Br and Cottingham Mill Run defining the low-lying geography. The map reveals a tapestry of long-established country roads, such as Sea Tick Rd and Old Furnace Rd, that connect these isolated hamlets and farmsteads.
