1943 Map of Monie
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The salt marshes and tidal guts of Somerset County define this coastal landscape as it appeared during the early 1940s. Centered on the intersection of Monie Bay and the Manokin River, the terrain is a complex network of wetlands including Monie Marsh and St Peters Marsh. Small settlements like Oriole, Venton, and Mount Vernon are linked by a developing road network, including State Route 363. The presence of St Peters ME Church and St James ME Church near Oriole points to the established community centers of the era. Maritime navigation is marked by the Wicomico River Light 14 at the mouth of the Wicomico River, reflecting the region's reliance on these waterways for transport and trade. From the secluded docks at Inverness to the isolated School Chimney, the map captures a rural Maryland peninsula shaped by its proximity to the Chesapeake.
