About this map

Goldsboro and Henderson anchor this survey of rural Caroline County, where small agricultural crossroads and water-management networks define the landscape. The geography is characterized by a sophisticated drainage system including Beetree Ditch, Edenburg Ditch, and Beaverdam Ditch, which channel water through the low-lying terrain into the Mason Branch and Choptank River. These watercourses have long shaped the settlement patterns of the Eastern Shore, supporting local farming operations like Highland Farm.

Local history and genealogy are preserved in numerous landmarks, from the Goldsboro Post Office to burial sites such as Union Memorial Cemetery and Rochester Cemetery. The map documents a cluster of traditional intersection hamlets including Kane Crossroads, Simpers Cross Roads, and Union Corner. In the southeast, Lake Bonnie and its associated Lake Bonnie Dam provide a distinct recreational or hydrologic feature near the pine-covered lands of Choptank Pines.
