2011 Map of Betterton

About this map

The Chesapeake Bay shoreline and the Sassafras River define the northern boundary of this Kent County landscape, where maritime history and agricultural life converge. Longstanding local hubs like Betterton and Still Pond remain central to the community, while the inland terrain is dotted with small settlements such as Coleman, Lynch, and Urieville. The map documents a traditional rural network of roads like Rosedale Cannery Rd and Bloomingneck Rd, connecting numerous farms including Five Rivers Farm and the Fair Promise Stock Farm. Researchers can find significant genealogical landmarks, including the Still Pond Cemetery and Mount Olive Cemetery. From the recreational grounds of Camp Tockwogh YMCA to the aviation sites at Harris Airport and Cromwell Farm Airport, the map provides a comprehensive view of the region's contemporary infrastructure and historical land use patterns.
