About this map

Whaleyville and Willards anchor this portrait of the central Delmarva Peninsula, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Pocomoke River. The map illustrates a dense network of agrarian and residential settlements spanning the Delaware Maryland border, with numerous small burial grounds such as Pulletts Chapel Cem and Twilley Cem providing significant genealogical data for local families.

The hydrologic patterns are particularly detailed, showing the intricate drainage system of the Eastern Shore, including named features like Vines Cr, Green Run, and Beaver Hole. This topography reveals the historical reliance on land divisions like Little Newfound Neck and Lewis Neck, which are framed by the local branches and prongs of the river. The proximity of Selbyville to the east and the clustering of communities like Parkview and New Hope suggest a long-established pattern of small-town development along the region's flat interior plains.
