1902 Map of Wicomico

USGS Topo · Published 1911

About this map

Wicomico River dominates this early twentieth-century survey of Southern Maryland, serving as a central artery for commerce between Charles and St. Marys counties. At a time when water transport remained vital to the regional economy, the map reveals numerous landings and wharves such as Plowdens Wharf and Budd Creek Ldg., which facilitated the movement of goods and people across Chaptico Bay and the Potomac River. The landscape is a network of sprawling marshlands and swamps, most notably Zekiah Swamp and Gilbert Swamp, which dictated the early settlement patterns of towns like Allen Fresh and Dentsville.
