About this map

The boundary between Queen Anne's Co and Caroline Co divides this rural landscape, defined by a network of drainage ditches and small agricultural settlements. The eastern portion is anchored by the town of Goldsboro, situated near the headwaters of the Choptank River and Lake Bonnie. Numerous crossroads communities, including Melville Crossroads, Kane Crossroads, and Baltimore Corner, reflect the area's historical reliance on localized trade and transit hubs.

Genealogists can find several established burial grounds such as Union Memorial Cem, Mount Zion Cem, and Rochester Cem located near the small hamlets of Union Corner and Mount Zion. The complex water system, featuring Beetree Ditch, Edenburg Ditch, and Oldtown Br, illustrates the long-standing management of the Long Marsh and Mason Br lowlands for farming. This 2017 survey provides a high-resolution view of the Maryland Eastern Shore's traditional land divisions and contemporary rural infrastructure.
