Princess Anne serves as the focal point of this Somerset County landscape, where the University of Maryland Eastern Shore campus expands eastward from the town center. The geography is defined by a dense network of slow-moving coastal waterways, including the winding Manokin River and the many branches feeding into Kings Creek. These watercourses carve out distinct landforms like Stewart Neck and Revels Neck, while the low-lying eastern terrain is dominated by significant wetlands such as Peggy Boston Swamp and McCormick Swamp. Modern transportation corridors and local aviation sites like Flying W Airport and Le Champ Airport intersect with older landmarks of the community. Genealogists will find the locations of Antioch Cem and Palmetto Cem preserved here, alongside established settlements like Westover and Palmetto.
