2019 Map of Sharptown

About this map

The Nanticoke River and Broad Creek define this landscape along the Maryland and Delaware border, where the historic settlements of Sharptown and Santo Domingo sit at the intersection of riverine commerce and agricultural life. The map details a water-rich environment characterized by significant features like Hawks Nest Shoals and Prickley Pear Island within the river channel. For genealogists, the survey identifies several established burial sites, including the Zion Methodist Cem and the Redman Cem near the town center. The surrounding rural landscape is dotted with small communities such as Galestown, Portsville, and Bethel, each connected by a network of local roads like Sharptown Rd. Evidence of early water-powered industry remains visible at Wrights Millpond and Portsville Millpond, while the presence of Pevey Airport reflects the more modern transition of the Delmarva Peninsula.
