About this map

Marumsco Creek and the Big Annemessex River define the low-lying coastal plain of Somerset County in this recent survey. Small settlements and historical landing points like Kingston, Rehobeth, and Marumsco are connected by a network of rural roads that frequently follow the contours of the wetlands, including names like Lovers Ln and Mennonite Church Rd. The landscape is a complex weave of agricultural fields and extensive marshlands, reaching east toward the Pocomoke River and the thick vegetation of the Cypress Swamp.

Genealogists and local historians can locate specific landmarks such as Saint Marks Cem and the Rehobeth Cem, which anchor the local community. The presence of the Anderson Farm Airport and small hamlets like Frogeye and Cottage Grove illustrate the enduring rural character of the Eastern Shore. The map also delineates the boundary between Somerset and Worcester counties as it passes through the swampy interior.
