Fairmount Neck and the surrounding Chesapeake Bay tidewater define this portrait of coastal Somerset County. The landscape is a complex network of marshes and coves, where land and water merge at Jericho Marsh and Acre Marsh. Settlement is concentrated in small, historic clusters such as Landonville, Upper Fairmount, and Rumbley, many of which are situated along narrow necks of land. The prevalence of family and community burial grounds, including Union Cem and the Samuel Wesley Methodist Cem, points to deep-rooted local lineages in this maritime environment.
