About this map

Monie Bay and the surrounding Chesapeake wetlands dominate this 1942 survey, revealing the intricate waterborne geography of Somerset County just before the mid-century. The landscape is defined by extensive marshes like Dames Quarter Marsh and St Peters Marsh, interspersed with "necks" of higher ground such as Victor Neck and Mongrel Neck. Local settlements are small and dispersed, linked by early secondary roads and centered around community landmarks like St Peters ME Church and St James ME Church near Oriole.

Navigational markers like Wicomico River Light 14 at the mouth of the Wicomico River underscore the area's historical reliance on the water. The map provides a look at traditional Chesapeake land use, where small communities like Venton, Champ, and Inverness sit at the edges of productive fishing grounds and tidal creeks. Of particular interest to local historians is the School Chimney label in the north, perhaps marking the last remnant of a rural schoolhouse in Mount Vernon.
