About this map

The Maryland Delaware state line bisects this portion of the Delmarva Peninsula, where rural crossroads and agricultural drainage systems define the landscape. The community of Marydel sits directly on this border, anchored by historical transit routes like Halltown Rd. Further south, the headwaters of the Choptank River emerge near Choptank Mills, surrounded by a complex network of ditches and prongs such as Tappahanna Ditch and Culbreth Marsh Ditch.

Genealogists will find interest in the scattered settlements of Sandtown, Petersburg, and Hazlettville, which are connected by a web of named country roads. The map documents vital local landmarks including Mt Olive Cem and the Mud Millpond. This detailed topography highlights how the Eastern Shore's hydrology, with features like Wildcat Br and Cow Marsh Creek, has long dictated the placement of farms and small hamlets across both Kent and Caroline counties.
