Jim--What an outstanding idea! Along with all the other good advice you get from list readers, I suggest you get a good magnifier and some Visine! You're going to spend a lot of time squinting at deeds and topo maps.... Seriously, do you mean to cover the Upper Nanticoke/Hunting Creek/Marshyhope area?? My ancestors were there, but I've only been able to approximate the locations of their tracts...your final product would be a great resource.

(What can I say, this is what happens after you meet John Lyon!) Before I reinvent the wheel, has anyone: - Already mapped the Upper Nanticoke watershed for "old" Dorchester Co tracts? - Created a creek and branch gazetteer for this area? After I've spent a decade or so mapping the Nanticoke forks region to the west of the NE fork, I'm going to try to overlay corresponding Sussex warrants and surveys. That should take care of my 60s and 70s!! Any mapping counsel anyone wants to offer is most welcome.
