1968 Map of Pocomoke City

About this map

Pocomoke River curves through the heart of the Lower Eastern Shore, anchoring a landscape defined by its riparian economy and borderland geography. In the late 1960s, Pocomoke City serves as a hub of activity, with its street grid and industrial assets like the Penn Central railroad and a conveyor system near the water. The survey captures a distinct mix of agricultural and swampy terrain, most notably the northern reaches of the Cypress Swamp and the dense network of drainage branches like Union Branch and Costen Branch. To the south, the map crosses into Virginia, highlighting the rural communities of Wagram and Cedar Hall. Long-established social anchors are visible throughout the countryside, including Quinton Ch, Trinity Ch, and the Salem Cem, alongside evidence of local industry at various sandpits and a drive-in theater south of the city.
