About this map

The Pocomoke River carves a dividing line through the center of this landscape, separating the western reaches of Wicomico County from the heart of Worcester County. The rural character of the region is defined by a network of small settlements and family-named landmarks. The village of Newark sits in the southeast, while smaller hamlets like Libertytown and Timmonstown are situated near the wetlands of Timmonstown Br and Ninepin Br.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, including Riverside Cem and Trinity Gardens Cem, often located near crossroads or river bends. The map shows the coastal transition toward the east at Bay Harbour, while to the north, the terrain rises toward Beech Ridge and Steves Island. This survey documents a quiet interior portion of the Delmarva Peninsula, where names like Mount Pleasant and Powellville anchor a geography tied to drainage ditches and historic branches.
