About this map

Pittsville and Parsonsburg anchor the southern reaches of this landscape where Maryland meets Delaware in the early 1990s. The region is defined by a complex network of wetlands and drainage, including the expansive Hamlin Swamp and the distinctly named Jack White Swamp. Historically significant for local genealogists, the map preserves the locations of rural congregations and burial grounds like Melson Ch, Mt Calvary Ch, and Race Bridge Cem.

Smaller settlements such as Whitesville and Aydelotte sit at the intersection of local routes like Whitesville Road and Race Bridge Road. The surveying captures the transition from the forested lowlands near Poplar Neck to the agricultural crossroads that shaped these Wicomico County communities. Waterways like Beaverdam Creek and the South Fork Green Run illustrate the natural hydrology that influenced the layout of early roads and homesteads.
