1944 Map of Goldsboro
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Choptank River headwaters and a complex network of agricultural drainage define this mid-century landscape on the Maryland-Delaware border. At the heart of the region, the Pennsylvania railroad corridor connects the settlements of Goldsboro, Henderson, and Marydel, while the Oxford Branch tracks branch southward. The terrain is marked by engineered waterways like Long Marsh Ditch and Edenburg Ditch, which were critical for the productivity of the surrounding farms and orchards. Small crossroads communities including Hollingsworth Crossroads and Melville Crossroads anchor the rural road system, punctuated by local landmarks such as Bethel Church and the Lockerman Ch. This survey illustrates a period of established rail-and-road transport before modern highway expansions altered the rural character of Caroline and Queen Anne's counties.
