1903 Map of Nanticoke

About this map

The Nanticoke River defines the landscape of this 1902 survey, serving as a vital artery for the Steamboat Route that connected Eastern Shore river landings. Small waterfront settlements like Whitehaven, Tyaskin, and Jesterville cluster along the eastern banks, while the Baltimore Chesapeake and Atlantic R. R. crosses the upper reaches at Vienna. This era of transport is further illustrated by the presence of Sandy Hill Landing and Lewis Ldg., which served as critical points for local trade and movement before modern road networks dominated.
