1968 Map of Lancaster

About this map

Lancaster sits at the heart of the Northern Neck in the mid-1960s, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its intricate tidewater geography. The map reveals a transition between the agricultural uplands and the deep-cut inlets of the Great Wicomico River and the Eastern Branch Corrotoman River. Small crossroads settlements such as Wicomico Church, Miskimon, and Chestnut Grove are connected by a network of winding local roads, including the notable Sampsons Wharf Road.
