2019 Map of Pittsville

About this map

Pittsville and Parsonsburg anchor the southern reaches of this Delmarva landscape, where the Maryland and Delaware state line bisects rural communities and agricultural fields. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of drainage and wetlands, including Jack White Swamp and Hamlin Swamp, which feed into local waterways like Nassawango Cr and the Aydelotte Br. This 2019 survey documents the enduring rural character of Wicomico and Sussex Counties, capturing small settlements such as Melson and Whitesville along with critical local landmarks. Genealogists will find notable burial sites documented, including the Jerusalem Methodist Cem and Melson Cem. The presence of the Delmarvair Airport and numerous rural roads like Whitesville Rd and Lowes Crossing Rd illustrate the modern transportation grid overlaid upon an older, water-reliant geography of prongs, branches, and ditches.
