1942 Map of Marion

About this map

The coastal marshes and necks of Somerset County are meticulously documented in this 1942 survey, depicting a landscape defined by the Big Annemessex River and the Manokin River. The inland settlements of Upper Fairmount and Marion serve as hubs for the surrounding rural districts, including Brinkleys No 3 and Lawsons No 8. Transportation is anchored by the Pennsylvania (Crisfield Branch) railroad, which cuts through the southeastern quadrant. Small coastal communities like Rumbley and Fairmount are positioned along the intricate shorelines of Goose Creek and Fords Cove. This map captures a significant concentration of local heritage sites, from the Long Point Lt lighthouse and the Asb signal to a network of country houses of worship such as St Andrews Church, Wayman Church, and Samuel Webster Ch. The intricate naming of maritime features like Hazard Island and Mine Island reflects the historical importance of these waterways to the local economy.
