About this map

The Wicomico River serves as the central artery for this Eastern Shore landscape, facilitating a steamboat route that connects Sharps Pt and Shad Pt to the regional hub of Salisbury. This 1900 survey captures the convergence of several major transport lines, including the Pennsylvania R.R. (Delaware Division) and the Baltimore Chesapeake and Atlantic R.R., which turned Delmar and Salisbury into critical junctions for timber and agricultural shipping.

Beyond the primary hubs, the sheet details a network of smaller rural communities like Hebron, Quantico, and Fruitland, along with the localized school district boundaries of the era. The presence of features like Fooks School and family-named landings provides significant data for tracing the social geography of Wicomico County before mid-century modernization altered the riverfront and rural road patterns.
