About this map

Monie Bay and the extensive wetlands of the Monie Marsh dominate this coastal landscape in Somerset County. The terrain is a complex network of tidal guts and necks, where land and water meet at features like Victor Neck and Mongrel Neck. Small, long-established settlements such as Oriole, Champ, and Saint Stephen are situated along the roads that navigate the marshes, primarily Deal Island Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community landmarks, including the Asbury Methodist Cem and Mount Grace Episcopal Cem. The map illustrates the maritime dependence of the region, from the Manokin River in the south to the Wicomico and Somerset County border at the north. This modern survey detail shows how the road network, including Oriole Rd and Mount Vernon Rd, connects the scattered points of Dames Quarter and Fairmount across the low-lying Eastern Shore.
