About this map

Pocomoke City serves as the focal point of this Eastern Shore landscape, situated where the Pocomoke River divides Worcester Co from Somerset Co. The map reveals a highly structured drainage environment characterized by numerous named swamps and branches, including Wagram Swamp, Cypress Swamp, and Beaverdam Swamp. The settlement pattern is defined by rural crossroads and small communities such as Unionville, West Pocomoke, and Cokesbury.

For local historians and genealogists, the map is particularly rich in cemetery data, documenting sites like Saint Marys Episcopal Cem and Salem Methodist Cem. Transportation infrastructure is prominently featured, from the central Pocomoke City Bridge to aviation facilities like Fair's Airport and Beverly Airport. The map also captures several curiously named private landmarks, such as The Ripper and Bush Hog, alongside the more traditional Lower-Shore YMCA.
