Norm,

Could it be one of those "mistakes" map makers have been known to put on their maps to that they can see if someone is copying their maps and using them elsewhere without authorization?

If you have the DeLorme Maryland/Delaware Atlas & Gazetteer handy, see if
you can answer this question for me.

On Map 39, lower right corner of the page, is Hudson Creek, flowing into
the Little Choptank River. In a bay of Hudson Creek, just south of the
town of Seabreeze, is a map symbol I have to say I've never noticed before
on any map. The symbol does not appear on DeLorme's map legend, either.

I'm assuming the symbol is a joke, but why there? Does it appear anywhere
else in this atlas? In any others?

Best,
Norm
