About this map

The Pocomoke River defines the landscape of central Worcester County, where the town of Snow Hill serves as a historic hub at the crossing of the Pennsylvania Central railroad. This mid-1960s survey illustrates a region shaped by its waterways and timberlands, with the Pocomoke State Forest and Shad Landing State Park preserving large tracts of the river's eastern banks. Smaller settlements and landings such as Millville, Corbin, and Milburn Landing are connected by a network of rural routes like Old Furnace Road and Disharoon Road.

Genealogists and local historians can trace numerous community landmarks, including Hutt Chapel, Taylor Gate Ch, and the Nassawango Cem. The drainage patterns of Nassawango Creek, Acquango Branch, and Furnace Branch suggest the area's long-standing reliance on its natural drainage and forest resources. Notable infrastructure such as the Lookout Tower and various Sandpits point to the area's fire management and extractive activities during this era.
