USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The Nanticoke River defines this landscape on the Delmarva Peninsula, marking the boundary between Maryland and Delaware. The river's historical importance as a commercial artery is evident in the numerous river-access points, including Hurts Wharf, Wheatleys Wharf, and the Woodland Ferry crossing. The settlement of Sharptown serves as a primary hub near the river's bend, while the Nanticoke Wildlife Area preserves the low-lying wetlands and islands like Prickley Pear Island.
