About this map

The Wicomico River and its complex network of prongs and creeks define the landscape of this Delmarva region in 2019. The city of Salisbury serves as a central hub, with established neighborhoods like Chesapeake Heights, Lincoln Heights, and Lakewood spreading outward from the riverbanks. To the south, the city of Fruitland maintains its own distinct footprint, while the Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport anchors the eastern edge of the survey area.

Historical land use is evident in the survival of milling landmarks such as Coulbourn Mill and Coulbourn Millpond. For those tracing family histories, the map identifies several local burial grounds, including Hustons Cem, Union Cem, and Saint Johns Methodist Cem. The terrain south of the city reaches a local high point at Backbone Hill, where the borders of Wicomico, Somerset, and Worcester counties converge.
