1943 Map of Nanticoke
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Nanticoke River defines the landscape of this 1943 survey, separating the expansive wetlands of Dorchester County from the settled shoreline of Wicomico County. On the eastern bank, the communities of Nanticoke, Jesterville, Bivalve, and Tyaskin represent a classic Chesapeake maritime economy. The presence of Nanticoke Wharf and Bivalve Harbor underscores the importance of the water for transport and trade, while the Tyaskin Ferry and Whitehaven Ferry provided essential links across the tidal waterways.
