About this map

Kenton and Hartly anchor this rural landscape in the Eastern Shore Delmarva Peninsula, where a network of historic crossroads defines the local geography. The map reveals an intricate system of water management and drainage, with features such as Tappahanna Ditch, Blanco Ditch, and Island Pond Marsh Ditch cutting across the agricultural terrain. These man-made channels complement natural waterways like the Leipsic River, which flows out of Masseys Millpond in the northeast corner.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from family-named locations like Everetts Corner and Underwood Corner to several small burial grounds including Bethesda M P Cem and Emmanuel Cem. The intersection of modern transportation and historical settlement patterns is visible at Wrights Crossroads, Pearsons Corner, and Fords Corner, illustrating how these small hamlets have evolved along the Delaware-Maryland border near Caroline Co.
