1968 Map of Lancaster
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The Northumberland Co Lancaster Co boundary divides this landscape of winding creeks and rural crossroads in the late 1960s. The county seat at Lancaster serves as a southern anchor, while the village of Wicomico Church centers the eastern portion of the sheet. The terrain is defined by the tidal reaches of the Great Wicomico River and the Corrotoman River, where numerous landings like Deep Landing and Coopers Landing hint at the area's long reliance on water transport. Education and faith are central to the community's structure, evidenced by the Brook Vale High Sch and several country churches including Morning Star Ch and Willis Chapel. Interior drainage is managed through systems like Davis Millpond and the marshes of Callahan Swamp, showing a land still deeply shaped by its natural hydrology before modern development intensified.
