1982 Map of Wango

About this map

Wicomico State Forest dominates this landscape on the Delmarva Peninsula, characterized by a complex network of wetlands and drainage ditches. The slow-moving waters of Nassawango Creek and its many tributaries, including Waste Gate Creek and Beaverdam Creek, create a riparian environment that defines the local geography. Small rural settlements like Forest Grove, Wango, and Powellville are connected by a web of light-duty roads such as Fooks Road and Powell Road. The presence of numerous unnamed cemeteries and community landmarks like Mt Zion Ch and Friendship Ch provide significant touchpoints for genealogical research. The transition into the Pocomoke State Forest to the south and the Johnson Wildlife Management Area to the west highlights the area's history of conservation and managed timberland during the late twentieth century.
