1953 Map of Popes Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Wicomico Neck is defined by a dense network of tidal guts and meandering runs, where the Wicomico River meets the historic tobacco-growing lands of southern Maryland. This mid-century landscape is dominated by the broad, marshy corridor of Zekiah Swamp Run, which separates established inland settlements like Bel Alton (Cox Sta) and Faulkner from the riverfront terrain. The industrial and transit patterns of the era are visible along the Conrail line, which connects the namesake waterfront at Popes Creek to the interior. Genealogical interest is high around the rural junctions of Newport and Dentsville, where St Marys Ch and local landmarks like Rogers Mill anchor the community history. The addition of bathymetry reveals the complex underwater topography of the Wicomico River near Budds Landing and Foggy Bottoms, showing the transition from navigable water to the silted reaches of Allens Fresh Run.
