2014 Map of Monie

About this map

Monie Bay and the surrounding marshlands of Somerset County define this intricate coastal landscape where the Wicomico River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The map documents a network of small, established communities connected by rural corridors like Deal Island Rd and Mt Vernon Rd. For genealogists, the sheet is an excellent resource, locating numerous family and church burial grounds including Asbury Cem, Grace Cem, and the John Wesley Cem near Mount Vernon. The land is fragmented by deep tidal inlets such as Little Monie Creek and Geanquakin Cr, creating isolated necks like Victor Neck and Monie Neck. Cultural and economic hubs are represented by the settlements of Oriole, Venton, and Dames Quarter, while the Bluemel Field Airport provides a modern aviation landmark near the southern banks of the Manokin River.
