1942 Map of Princess Anne
USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
Princess Anne serves as the focal point of this Eastern Shore landscape, situated where the Pennsylvania railroad line intersects with the upper reaches of the Manokin River. The map captures a moment in 1942 when the town was a regional center for education and transportation, featuring the campus of Princess Anne College and schools such as Greenwood Sch and Oakville Sch. Beyond the town limits, the geography is defined by low-lying wetlands and creek systems, including Dublin Swamp and Kings Creek, which separate agricultural necks of land like Stewart Neck. A significant portion of the southern area is occupied by the U S Army Reservation, reflecting the military mobilization of the early 1940s. Local landmarks such as Mt Hope Ch and the rural settlement of Palmetto indicate established community nodes within the varied terrain of Somerset County.
