About this map

Chincoteague Bay defines the eastern edge of this Worcester County landscape, where the coastal waters meet a network of landings and points including Windmill Point and Kelly Point. The shoreline economy is evident through features like the Snow Hill Marina and historical landing sites such as Public Landing and Harmon Landing. Inland, the Penn Central railroad cuts through the territory, serving small rural hubs like Newark and the descriptively named Basket Switch.

The map reveals a transition from the riparian environment of the Pocomoke River in the northwest to the tidal creeks of the east, such as Scarboro Creek and Cotter Creek. Local genealogy is well-supported by the presence of Old Trinity Cem, Ebenezer Cem, and early educational sites like Cedar Chapel Sch. The concentration of named branches, such as Coonfoot Branch and Fivemile Branch, illustrates the intricate drainage patterns of the coastal plain during the late 1960s.
