About this map

The intersection of the Pennsylvania (Chestertown Branch) and the Pennsylvania (Centerville Branch) at Massey serves as the structural heart of this 1944 survey. This rural landscape along the Maryland-Delaware border is defined by a series of small agricultural and railway settlements, including Golts, Sassafras, and Crumpton. The northern boundary is marked by the Sassafras River, while the Chester River winds along the southern edge, illustrating the importance of tidal waterways to the region's historical geography.

Social and civic life is anchored by local landmarks like St Clements Church and the Mission Church. Large-scale land use is represented by the Millington Wild Life Demonstration Area in the southeast. This map, based on 1942 air photographs, provides a precise record of the road network including Wilson Point Road and Ten Number Rd, and minor family-named locations such as Peacock Corners and Caldwell Corners that are central to local genealogical research.
