The historic atlas image has been georectified so roads, waterways, communities, property names, and other features can be compared directly with modern geography.

How to use the map Drag the slider toward Historic to make the 1877 map more visible, or toward Modern to reveal the present-day map underneath. Switch between Street and Satellite for the modern base map. Pan, zoom, or use full-screen mode as needed.

Cemetery locations are optional and hidden by default. Use the Layers / Cemeteries button below to add Somerset, Wicomico, or Worcester burial sites to the historic map.

Map note: The historic overlay is the 1877 Lower Shore Outline Plan from the Lake, Griffing and Stevenson atlas, rectified on MapWarper as map 78766. Rectification aligns a historic map with modern geographic coordinates; small alignment differences are normal because the original atlas survey was not created with modern GPS precision.
