2019 Map of Marydel

About this map

Marydel sits directly on the border of Maryland and Delaware, anchoring a landscape defined by intricate drainage networks across the Delmarva Peninsula. This 2019 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and rural character of the region, where numerous historic crossroads like Smith Crossroads and Chapeltown remain central to the local geography. The map reveals how the land is managed through an extensive system of ditches and prongs, including the Tappahanna Ditch and Culbreth Marsh Ditch, which channel water toward the Choptank River.
