2010 Map of Grissom

About this map

Grissom and Pocomoke anchor this rural landscape in the northern reaches of the county, where the piedmont terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and small water impoundments. The 2010 topography shows a transition from the historic agricultural crossroads of New Light to more modern residential patterns, yet the geography remains dominated by water systems like Smith Creek and New Light Creek. In the south, the expansion of Falls Lake marks the edge of the quadrangle, while smaller local landmarks like Efland Millpond and Masons Pond Dam highlight a legacy of small-scale water management. Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named roads and sites such as Calvin Ray Pond and Camp Kanata, alongside numerous rural branches including Buckhorn Creek and Middle Creek that have shaped the settlement patterns of these communities for generations.
