About this map

Westover and Kingston anchor this wartime survey of Somerset County, where the Pennsylvania Railroad Crisfield Branch cuts through the lowlands of the Eastern Shore. The landscape is defined by its rural density, featuring a high concentration of country churches including St Pauls Church, St Marks Church, and Quindooqua Church. To the east, the terrain transitions into the dense Cypress Swamp as it approaches the banks of the Pocomoke River. Small settlements and landmarks like Cottage Grove and Hudson Corner illustrate the intersection of agricultural land and coastal drainage systems like the Big Annemessex River. The inclusion of election districts such as Westover No 13 and Brinkleys No 3 provides a clear framework for local genealogists tracing family locations across this tidal landscape during the early 1940s.
