1953 Map of Hallwood

About this map

The Pennsylvania railroad corridor serves as the backbone for several Eastern Shore communities in this mid-century survey, linking Hallwood and Oak Hall to the broader regional economy. The landscape is defined by the winding tributaries of the Pocomoke Sound, with Pitts Creek and Bullbegger Creek cutting through the timber and farmland near the Maryland border. This era shows a high density of rural social centers, from the Wattsville Sch to numerous houses of worship like Shilo Ch and Chincoteague Church.
