About this map

The Big Annemessex River and its intricate network of marshes and coves dominate this portion of Somerset County, where the transition between land and water defines local life. Smaller settlements such as Upper Fairmount, Landonville, and Marion are clustered along the inland roads, while the waterfront hamlets of Rumbley and Frenchtown provide access to the expansive Flatcap Basin and Shirtpond Cove. This coastal environment is marked by numerous islands and points, including Janes Island and Fairmount Neck, illustrating the reliance on the water for both transport and industry.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites scattered across the landscape, from the Saint Pauls Cem near Marion to the Salem Cem at Manokin. These sites, including Saint Stephens Episcopal Cem and Quindocqua Cem, are vital markers of family heritage in these established Eastern Shore communities. The infrastructure of the area is further anchored by the Crisfield-Somerset County Airport and the organized memorial space of Sunny Ridge Memorial Park.
