1968 Map of Franktown

About this map

Church Neck and Wilsonia Neck define this portion of the Eastern Shore, where the intricate tidal systems of the Chesapeake Bay meet a landscape of old estates and rural crossroads. In the late 1960s, the Penn Central corridor served as the primary terrestrial spine, connecting local hubs like Machipongo and Birdsnest. The map reveals a high density of religious and educational landmarks important for genealogy, including Hungars Ch near Bridgetown and Antioch Ch in Treherneville.
