About this map

Lancaster stands as the central hub of this Northern Neck landscape, where the tides of the Great Wicomico River and the Western Branch Corrotoman River shape the geography. The map reveals a dense network of crossroads communities that define the region's social history, including Wicomico Church, Browns Store, and Regina. Moving inland from the waterfront landings like Indian Point Landing and Cedar Point Landing, the terrain transitions into a mosaic of wetlands such as McMahon Swamp and Callahan Swamp.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks preserved on this sheet, from the Willie Chapel Cemetery near Richtown to family-named junctions like McNeals Corner and Hardins Corner. The map also documents the industrial and recreational footprint of the area through features like the Twin Branch Milldam at Davis Millpond, the Miskimon Lookout Tower, and the youth camp at Camp Kittamaqund near the river's edge.
