1992 Map of Bay View

About this map

Big Elk Creek and Little Elk Creek wind through the northeast corner of this Cecil County landscape, where the Pennsylvania Maryland border defines the northern limit of the survey. The terrain is a network of small crossroad settlements and rural institutions, from the academic grounds of Cecil Community College near Bay View to the industrial history at Elk Mills. Local genealogy is well-documented through numerous family-named landmarks and houses of worship, including Moores Chapel Cem, Rosebank Cem, and St Johns Ch. The map captures a moment of modern connectivity with the John Kennedy Memorial Highway and Toll Road cutting across the southern portion, yet traditional features like the Covered Bridge on the Pennsylvania line remain. Researchers can trace the layout of small communities such as Chrome, Lombard, and Calvert as they appeared in the early 1990s.
