About this map

Ocean Pines and the surrounding coastal plains of the Delmarva Peninsula define this region along the Delaware Maryland border. The landscape is deeply etched by tidal tributaries of the Saint Martin River, including Bishopville Prong and Shingle Landing Prong. Established towns like Selbyville and Bishopville serve as inland anchors, while smaller communities such as Showell, Bishop, and Roxana are connected by a network of rural routes like Old Stage Rd and Bishopville Rd.

Genealogists will find numerous historical burial sites throughout the area, including Old Saint Martins Cem near Parkertown and the Red Men Cem north of Selbyville. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the intricate wetlands and points of the coastal marshes, featuring named landmarks like Jenkins Neck, Peach Point, and Eagle Island. This survey captures the modern balance between residential growth and the traditional agricultural and maritime geography of Worcester and Sussex counties.
