Description
Beautiful, antique map of the Nanticoke River on the Eastern Shore of Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, including Wicomico & Dorchester County. This is an authentic 1903 edition, 1903 print from the U.S. Geological Survey & NOT a computer reproduction. See what Maryland looked like more than 115 years ago. Lots of intricate details & geological contours. Map even has little squares for every house that existed at the time. The USGS cartographers were very thorough back then!
