1968 Map of Hallwood

About this map

New Church and Hallwood anchor this survey of the Delmarva Peninsula's eastern shore, where the border between Maryland and Virginia follows the winding path of Little Mill Creek. The landscape is a patchwork of agricultural fields and woodlands, marked by a dense network of small communities such as Temperanceville, Oak Hall, and Wattsville. Historical industry is evident at Tunnels Mill and numerous scattered sandpits, while local social hubs appear at the Atlantic High School and several rural congregations including Pittsville Church and Jerusalem Church. A central north-south transportation corridor defines the eastern half of the map, supporting a line of settlements like Lecato and Horsey that sit between the inland wetlands of Bullbegger Creek and the coastal approaches near Atlantic.
