About this map

Marshyhope Creek and the Nanticoke River dictate the geography of this Eastern Shore landscape, framing a region of agricultural settlements and riparian landings. The town of Hurlock occupies the northwestern corner, while smaller crossroads and river-oriented communities like Rhodesdale, Eldorado, and Riverton anchor the surrounding countryside. This 2014 survey documents the enduring spatial patterns of Dorchester and Wicomico counties, where family-named landmarks and ancestral sites remain prominent features of the modern map.

Local history and genealogy are preserved through numerous burial grounds, including McKendree Cem, Eldorado Cem, and Reids Grove Cem. The landscape is etched with small waterways such as Chicone Creek and Big Indian Creek, which once influenced the placement of landings like Walnut Landing and Red Banks. Cultural landmarks like Hidden Hills Airport and the historical cluster at Reids Grove provide specific points of reference for tracing development across this riverine environment.
