1944 Map of Goldsboro

About this map

Goldsboro serves as a central hub on the eastern shore during the mid-1940s, situated at the junction of the Pennsylvania railroad line and several vital rural corridors. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by drainage and agriculture, defined by the Edenburg Ditch and Beetree Ditch which feed into the upper reaches of the Choptank River. Smaller settlements like Henderson and Marydel anchor the northern reaches of the quadrangle, while various crossroads—such as Baltimore Corner and Hollingsworth Crossroads—point to a legacy of early transport networks. Local institutions are well-recorded for genealogists, including Bethel Ch, Zuckerman Ch, and Bethel Sch. The terrain is relatively flat, as indicated by the presence of a Borrow Pit and Sand Pits, reflecting the regional geology along the Queen Annes and Caroline County border.
