About this map

Cypress Swamp dominates the upper reach of this landscape, where the Pocomoke River winds southward through a network of intricate drainages like Grays Prong and Little Newfound Branch. The terrain is defined by low-lying necks and ridges, including Big Newfound Neck and Pine Ridge, which shaped the early agricultural and settlement patterns of the Maryland-Delaware border. Small rural communities are scattered throughout, most notably Whaleysville and Willards, the latter featuring the Willards Sch. Genealogy and local history are preserved in family and community landmarks such as Pulletts Chapel and Bethel Cem. The transition from swamp to settled land is marked by an extensive system of ditches, including Davis Ditch, reflecting the long-term engineering required to manage this coastal plain environment for farming and habitation.
