2022 Map of Supply

About this map

Portobago Run and Beverly Run carve through the dissected coastal plain of Caroline County, forming a landscape of narrow ridges and well-watered valleys. In the early 2020s, this area remained characterized by small crossroad settlements and family-named landmarks like Goldmans Corner, Jones Corner, and Hickory Fork. The terrain is defined by its drainages, including Shady Grove Run and Slashbox Run, which dictate the winding paths of local roads such as Dodge City Rd and State Rte 625. Genealogical interests are served by several documented burial sites, including Kay Cem and the Eagles Nest Cem near the Essex County line. The settlement pattern is largely decentralized, with small hamlets like Naulakla and Upper Zion serving as focal points for the surrounding rural communities, while larger water features like Holmes Pond and Jones Pond break up the wooded topography.
