• Maps must be accurate (to scale) but also aesthetically pleasing. See ex: http://www.history.org/history/cwland/gardensmap.cfm.

Wicomico - can you elaborate at all on what the required paperwork is for being a 'Wicomico County vendor'?
And could you also elaborate on what sort of map you are looking for? The map you posted seems quite adequate.
I would be interested depending on those points.

I've attached a link to the new vendor paperwork that would be required. New Vendor Information Form and W-9 updated June 2013.pdf
For the map, the version I attached was drawn by hand and scanned in electronically. We are in need of a vectorized version, which we can then manipulate if new buildings are developed, trails adjusted, etc. Additionally, we are seeking a design that maintains the parks historical integrity but also compliments the look of the parks' web site (http://wwwPembertonPark.org). If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out.
