About this map

The Worcester County Courthouse serves as the focal point for Snow Hill, a historic river town situated along the winding banks of the Pocomoke River. This modern survey illustrates the enduring settlement patterns of Worcester County, where established neighborhoods meet the dense wetlands of Bear Swamp and Franklin Swamp. The landscape is deeply tied to its watercourses, with Nassawango Creek and Hardship Branch carving through the low-lying terrain.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, as the map identifies numerous burial sites including Makemie Memorial Cem, All Hallows Episcopal Cem, and the Christian Cem. Smaller outlying communities such as Indiantown, Scarboro, and Furnace are connected by a network of historic routes like Old Stagecoach Ln and Old Furnace Rd, tracing the early industrial and transit history of the Eastern Shore.
