About this map

The Wicomico River and its intricate network of tidal creeks define this coastal Maryland landscape, where the White Haven Ferry continues a long tradition of waterborne transit. Small settlements such as Wetipquin, Tyaskin, and Bivalve line the banks of the Nanticoke River, reflecting a community deeply tied to the Chesapeake's maritime economy. This 2014 survey captures a transition point in the lower Eastern Shore, where traditional landings like New Road Landing and Ferry Point remain central to the geography alongside more established villages like Mount Vernon and Whitehaven.

Tracing the marshy interiors reveals numerous family and local landmarks, including Dolbey Cem near Whitehaven Road and the uniquely named Sandy Hill Runaway Beach Point. The map illustrates the complex hydrology of the region, from the winding path of Quantico Creek in the north to the broad expanse of Ellis Bay. The road network, including MD-352, connects inland crossroads like Coxs Corner and Martins Corner to the riverside communities, providing a detailed view of Wicomico and Somerset Counties.
