2019 Map of Scranton

About this map

Germantown and Sladesville sit within a coastal landscape defined by the intricate finger-like bays and creeks of Hyde County. The geography is dominated by the vast waters of Spencer Bay and Rose Bay, where numerous named points like Watch Point, Island Point, and Ranger Point extend into the estuaries. Transport in this region relies on a network of named rural routes such as Puddin Hill Rd and Sladesville-Credle Rd, reflecting the long-standing agricultural and maritime character of these low-lying communities. The presence of Hodges Farm Airport near Germantown indicates the ongoing importance of local aviation in managing this fragmented terrain. From the marshes of Judith Marsh to the shoals at Swan Point Shoal, the map reveals a land constantly interacting with the tide, where small settlements like Beulah and Scranton are separated by extensive wetlands and drainage systems like Smith Creek.
