Parker Pond is a pond in Wicomico County, Maryland formed by a widening of Beaverdam Creek.[3]
Parker Pond is a man-made body of water, constructed around 1778 using soil excavated from an area adjacent to the east sIde of the dam.[4] The original purpose of the dam was to provide water power, operate a gristmill and a sawmill.[4] In the late 1700’s the pond was known as Robbins' Mill Lot owned by James B. Robbins.[4]
The dam is located on Beaverdam Creek approximately1.5 miles upstream from Beaglin Park Dam forming Schumaker Pond within the Wicomico River drainage basin.[4]
