About this map

Chincoteague Bay defines the eastern edge of this coastal landscape, where the tides met the agrarian and industrial networks of mid-century Worcester County. The Pennsylvania railroad line serves as a central spine, connecting the northern settlement of Newark to southern outposts like Spence and the stop at Basket Switch. This transportation corridor supported a region defined by its necks and branches, where the freshwater of the Pocomoke River and its tributaries, such as Poorhouse Branch, transition toward the salt marshes of Robins Marsh.
