1942 Map of Kingston

About this map

The Pocomoke River winds through the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, marking the boundary between Somerset and Worcester counties. This mid-century survey captures a rural network of small agricultural hubs and crossroads, anchored by the Pennsylvania railroad line that cuts through Westover and Kingston. The map reveals a high density of rural religious centers, including John Wesley Ch and Moores Chapel, which served the scattered families of the Tidewater. The terrain transitions from the dense, saturated grounds of the Cypress Swamp to tidal tributaries like Annemessex Creek. In the south, the village of Rehobeth sits near the river's bend, while smaller settlements like Hudson Corner and Pauls Corner define the interior road network. The map provides a detailed view of the drainage patterns and marshland edges that historically dictated the placement of Somerset County homes and farms.
