About this map

The Pocomoke River and Big Annemessex River define the watery landscape of this Somerset County coastal plain, where traditional tidewater settlements sit alongside 21st-century infrastructure. Small communities like Kingston and Westover maintain their identities through local landmarks such as the Kingston Post Office and Westover Post Office, while the southern reaches of the map near Marumsco show a complex network of creeks and marshes.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Saint Marks Cemetery and the sprawling Rehobeth Cemetery near the banks of the Rehobeth Branch. The presence of small aviation facilities like Anderson Farm Airport and Murphy Airport indicates the region's reliance on private air travel across the peninsula's flat terrain. The map also traces established rural routes like Boggs School House Rd and Mennonite Church Rd, reflecting the deep-seated social and religious foundations of these Maryland shore communities.
