1944 Map of Federalsburg

Genealogists can locate several houses of worship that anchored these small communities, including Friendship Church, Mt Zion Church, and Solomons Temple Church. Along the waterways, landmarks such as Browns Ldg and the Harrison Ferry Bridge indicate historical crossing points and landings that predated modern infrastructure. From the Gravel Pit near the town center to the remote settlements of Hynson and Nichols, the map captures the region just as wartime 1940s development began to shift the rural character of Caroline and Dorchester counties.
