2017 Map of Betterton

About this map

Chesapeake Bay waters define the northern and western edges of this Kent County landscape, where the shoreline is broken by landforms like Howell Point and Castle Point. The inland territory is a mosaic of small farming communities and crossroads settlements, including Betterton, Still Pond, and Kennedyville. This 2017 survey reflects a persistent agricultural and residential pattern, with numerous family-named roads such as Goosedown Farm Rd and Barrett Farm Rd threading between large tracts of land. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including Still Pond Cem, Christ Cem, and Fountain Cem. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the upper reaches of Morgan Creek and the Urieville Community Lake, while small private airfields like Harris Airport and Cromwell Farm Airport suggest the modern connectivity of this rural Maryland peninsula.
