The Pocomoke River defines the landscape of this Maryland Eastern Shore survey, winding through a series of landings and lowlands that speak to the area's maritime and industrial history. The town of Snow Hill serves as a central hub, featuring several historic burial grounds such as the Makemie Memorial Cemetery and All Hallows Cemetery, alongside the Snow Hill Post Office. To the west, the legacy of early iron production is preserved in names like Furnace and the Nassawango Mill Pond, while residential growth is visible in developments like Nassawango Hills and Rolling Hills. The geography is characterized by numerous tributaries, including Hardship Branch and Corbin Branch, which feed into the primary river system. This survey documents the intersection of modern rural life with the deep-rooted landmarks of Worcester County, from the protected reaches of the Pocomoke State Frst to family-named sites like the Taylor Gate Cemetery.
