About this map

Pittsville and Parsonsburg anchor this 2014 survey of the Maryland-Delaware border region, where the industrial poultry landscape meets the drainage basins of the Nassawango Cr and Aydelotte Br. The map illustrates the transition from traditional crossroad settlements like Melson and Whitesville to more modern developments such as Hampton Court and East Winds. A clear division is marked by the Delaware-Maryland state line, which also serves as the boundary between Sussex and Wicomico counties.

Local aviation history is represented by the Delmarvair Airport, while several family and community burial grounds, including Melson Cem and Farlows Cem, offer critical data points for genealogists. The transport network is defined by the high-speed Ocean Gtwy bypass and the older Old Ocean City Rd, tracing the evolution of regional travel toward the Atlantic coast. The drainage patterns of Burnt Mill Br and S Fork Green Run dictate the placement of farms and small settlements across this low-lying Delmarva landscape.
