1966 Map of Girdletree

About this map

Girdletree and Stockton serve as the primary hubs for this rural landscape on the lower Delmarva Peninsula, where the Maryland and Virginia border divides the coastal plain. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mills and ponding, seen at Little Millpond and Big Millpond, which supported the local timber and grain economies. To the north, the Pocomoke State Forest and Milburn Landing State Park flank the Pocomoke River, while the southeastern corner reaches the salt marshes of Chincoteague Bay.
