2019 Map of East New Market

About this map

Secretary and East New Market anchor this Dorchester County landscape, where the agricultural interior meets the tidal reaches of the Choptank River and Warwick River. The mapping reveals a network of rural hamlets including Hurlock, Hicksburg, and Linkwood, connected by a web of local roads such as Suicide Bridge RD and Railroad Ave. This region is defined by its low-lying hydrology, with the Transquaking River and Chicamacomico River carving through extensive wetlands and wooded areas like Bolingbroke Neck. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved in the record, including East New Market Cem, Airey Cem, and Salem Cem near the settlement of Salem. The intersection of historical river-based commerce and modern transit routes is evident in the transition from points like Secretarys Point to the corridors of the Ocean Gateway.
