About this map

The salt marshes and inlets of the Chesapeake Bay define this corner of Somerset County, where the transition from water to land is marked by a network of necks and points. The Big Annemessex River carves a deep path through the landscape, separating Fairmount Neck from the inland reaches. Local history is deeply rooted in the small settlements and family burial grounds that dot the area, such as Landonville, Upper Fairmount, and Hearts Ease. The presence of numerous small cemeteries, including Quindocqua Cem and Upper Fairmount Cem, speaks to generations of residents who have lived along these tidal shores.
