1943 Map of Popes Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The Pennsylvania (Popes Creek Br) railroad defines the western corridor of this Southern Maryland landscape, connecting the inland junction at Bel Alton to the river terminal at Popes Creek. This 1943 survey, compiled by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey from aerial photographs, reveals a coastal economy transitioning from agricultural landings to mid-century rural infrastructure. Centered on the sprawling Zekiah Swamp, the map documents established settlements like Newport and Allens Fresh alongside small family landmarks such as Rogers Mill and St Marys Ch. The topography shows a highly dissected terrain where numerous creeks, including Gilbert Swamp Run and Cooksey Run, drain into the Wicomico River. Strategic crossings like Stones Bridge and Dentsville Bridge serve as local hubs for the surrounding districts, including Allens Fresh No 4 and Harris Lot No 5.
