About this map

The Pocomoke River defines the eastern edge of this Somerset County landscape, where the tidal waters of the Cypress Swamp create a dense natural boundary with neighboring Worcester County. During the early 1940s, the Pennsylvania railroad line served as a primary transportation artery, connecting the settlement at Westover with outlying communities like Kingston and Marumsco.

This rural environment is dotted with small-scale agricultural crossroads and several houses of worship, such as John Wesley Ch and St Marks Ch. The mapping of small settlements like Hudson Corner and Pauls Corner provides a record of early 20th-century road networks and family-named landmarks near the Big Annemessex River. The arrangement of these churches and corners reflects a decentralized community structure typical of the Maryland Eastern Shore before the expansion of modern highways.
