About this map

Pittsville and Parsonsburg anchor this segment of the Delmarva Peninsula, where the Maryland-Delaware state line bisects rural communities. The map captures the agricultural and residential transition of the region, marked by numerous small stream prongs and drainage ditches such as Hamlin Ditch and Aydelotte Br. Cultural landmarks are frequent, including several family and community burial grounds like Melson Cem and Farlows Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research.

The transport network is defined by the legacy of the Old Ocean City Rd and the newer Ocean Gateway, framing the development of settlements like Whitesville and Glass Hill. To the north, the small aviation footprint of Delmarvair Airport sits near the winding course of the S Fork Green Run, while wetlands such as the Jack White Swamp illustrate the persistent low-lying hydrology characteristic of the Atlantic Coastal Plain.
