About this map

Snow Hill serves as the focal point of this Eastern Shore landscape, situated where the Pocomoke River winds through the wetlands of Worcester County. The settlement patterns reflect a deep history of river-dependent industry and transit, with the Snow Hill Bridge providing a vital crossing point. To the west, the village of Furnace and the Nassawango Mill Pond indicate earlier industrial sites along Nassawango Creek, while smaller communities like Indiantown, Scarboro, and Corbin are scattered across the surrounding woodland and swamp.

Genealogists can find numerous burial grounds, including Makemie Memorial Cem, All Hallows Cem, and the Nelson Cem. The map illustrates the varied hydrology of the region, from the dense Bear Swamp to named waterways like Mattaponi Cr and Hardship Br. Notable landmarks like Mount Olive Ch and Hutt Chapel Cem remain as markers of the rural community's social structure amidst a network of historic routes like Old Stagecoach Ln.
