About this map

The salt marshes and tidal creeks of Somerset County define this coastal landscape during the early 1940s. The Pennsylvania (Crisfield Branch) railroad cuts a diagonal line through the marshy terrain, connecting the inland village of Marion with the waterfront community of Hopewell. This transportation corridor was vital for the local seafood and agricultural economy, linking the Eastern Shore to broader markets.

Ecclesiastical life is anchored by numerous country houses of worship, including St Andrews Church near Upper Fairmount and Samuel Webster Ch at Manokin. Along the jagged shoreline of the Big Annemessex River and Manokin River, small settlements like Rumbley sit at the edge of vast wetlands such as Jericho Marsh and Acre Marsh. The presence of the Annemessex Canal indicates the importance of water management and navigation in this low-lying region of the Chesapeake Bay.
