Hello,

The short answer is no, there does not appear to be a history of
flooding in Bishopville, except right next to the river.

Examine the Federal Emergency Management Agency's flood map of
northern Worcester County at
(http://map1.msc.fema.gov/idms/IntraView.cgi?O_X=6679&O_Y=5110&O_ZM=0.049022&O_SX=800&O_SY=501&O_DPI=400&O_TH=21391403&O_PG=1&WD=14839&HT=10220&JX=783&JY=557&MPT=0&MPS=0&ACT=1&KEY=21095930&ITEM=1&PICK_VIEW_CENTER.x=528&PICK_VIEW_CENTER.y=162&R1=VIN).
Bishopville is just northeast of where Highway 367 crosses the
Bishopville Prong. You will see that the dangerous "Area A" barely
extends past the river itself, and "Area B," where flooding occurs
every 100 to 500 years, stops just short of Highway 368. Pan to the
northeast of the map to see the map key and descriptions of the areas.

The aerial view of Bishopville on the Microsoft Terraserver
(http://terraserver.homeadvisor.msn.com/image.asp?S=11&T=1&X=1207&Y=10637&Z=18&W=1)
shows the distance from the center of Bishopville to the river and its
flood plain.

Google searches on Bishopville turned up nothing on flooding, and
searches on flooring in Maryland turned up nothing on Bishopville.
