About this map

Somerset County's coastal landscape is defined by the labyrinthine tidal marshes of Fairmount Neck and Holland Neck during the early 1940s. The settlement of Marion serves as a central hub, where the Pennsylvania Railroad (Crisfield Branch) cuts through the timber and wetlands to connect the inland community with the waterfront. This era shows a deeply integrated relationship between land and water, with small villages like Rumbley and Hopewell positioned alongside intricate waterways like Teague Creek and the Big Annemessex River.

Maritime navigation is marked by the Long Point Light, which guided vessels through the river mouths. For those researching family history, the map provides precise locations for several rural congregations, including Wayman Church, St Andrews Church, and Wesley Church. The presence of the Daugherty Canal and numerous named marshlands like Lawsons Marsh illustrates the extensive drainage and coastal management of the Lower Eastern Shore.
