1943 Map of Girdletree
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
Girdletree and Stockton anchor this coastal plain landscape in the early 1940s, situated along the Pennsylvania railroad line. The map reveals an intricate network of drainage and agriculture, defined by features like Jones Ditch and Marshall Ditch which cut through the low-lying terrain toward the Chincoteague Bay. To the north, the Tarr State Game Refuge sits along the Pocomoke River, while the southern reaches show the tight-knit maritime settlements of Greenbackville and Franklin City at the Maryland-Virginia border. Local heritage is deeply etched into the geography through numerous rural landmarks, including the St Pauls School, Betheden Cem, and various houses of worship such as St Lukes Church and Remson Ch. The presence of Big Millpond and Little Millpond suggests the area's historical reliance on water-driven industry and milling.
