About this map

Marshyhope Creek and its many tributaries, such as Cattail Br and Green Br, define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape on the Delmarva Peninsula. The map reveals a high density of small settlements and crossroads typical of this region, including Hickman, Adamsville, and Andrewsville. Land use is primarily agricultural, evidenced by a vast network of drainage features like the Short and Hall Ditch and Hickman Ditch that support the local farming economy.

Genealogists can locate several historic burial grounds, such as Bethel Cem near the northern border and Todds Cem further south. Significant infrastructure for local travel is marked by named crossings like Campground Bridge and Woodenhawk Bridge. The map also captures the recreational and industrial character of the area through Smithville Lake and the presence of Iron Mine Br, providing a detailed look at the interface between the natural waterways and human development.
