About this map

Girdletree and Stockton anchor this survey of the Eastern Shore, illustrating a landscape defined by tidewater inlets and a network of drainage ditches vital to coastal agriculture. Along the southern edge, the Maryland Virginia state line is marked by the MD-VA Boundary Mon Davis, dividing the communities of Franklin City and Greenbackville near the shores of Purnell Bay. The interior is crisscrossed by an extensive system of waterways and man-made channels like Marshall Ditch and Rayfield Ditch, which manage the low-lying terrain around Holly Swamp.
