About this map

The Maryland-Delaware state line bisects this landscape, defined by the low-lying wetlands of the Delmarva Peninsula. The settlement of Pittsville serves as a central hub, situated along the Pennsylvania Railroad corridor which links it to Parsonsburg to the west. This era shows a rural economy deeply integrated with the natural drainage patterns, as evidenced by the numerous ditches and named swamps like Jack White Swamp and Glass Hill Swamp that dictate the placement of roads and farms.
