About this map

Marion and the surrounding Somerset County marshlands are captured in this orthophotomap, which combines traditional topographic data with 1972 aerial photography. The landscape is defined by the labyrinthine waterways between the Manokin River and the Big Annemessex River, including the expansive Fairmount State Wildlife Management Area. Human settlement is concentrated along the higher ground of Fairmount Neck and near the Penn Central rail line, where communities like Upper Fairmount and Tulls Corner were established.

Detailed bathymetry added in the 1980s reveals the underwater contours of Big Annemessex River and Shirtpond Cove, essential for understanding the maritime character of this Chesapeake Bay edge. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several country churches and cemeteries, such as Christ Ch, Salem Cem, and the Sunny Ridge Memorial Park, while the presence of the Crisfield Municipal Airport and Janes Island State Park shows the mid-century transition toward conservation and modern infrastructure.
