About this map

Wicomico River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Zekiah Swamp Run and Bowling Creek, dominate this part of southern Charles County. The landscape is characterized by established settlements such as Bel Alton, Faulkner, and Newburg, each supported by their respective post offices. This 2011 survey captures the area's rural transition, where historical landmarks like Rogers Mill and the Glosva School sit alongside newer residential developments like Thomas Manor and Amys Acres.

Transport and community infrastructure are well-documented, from the Lothair Station area to the river crossings at Popes Creek Bridge and Stones Bridge. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Saint Mary Cemetery and the prominent Wicomico Ridge. The map details a varied terrain of named points such as Westwood Point and Woodland Point, providing a clear record of the shoreline and inland reaches near Allens Fresh and Dentsville.
