1968 Map of Lancaster

About this map

The Great Wicomico River defines the northern coastline of this Northern Neck peninsula, where maritime and agricultural life converge. The landscape is marked by a network of landings and wharves, such as Sampsons Wharf and Coopers Landing, which served as vital points for commerce and transit before modern road improvements became dominant. Further inland, the map captures the transition from tidal waters to the interior through features like Davis Millpond and Camps Millpond, alongside several named crossroads that served as local hubs.
