1900 Map of Betterton
USGS Topo · Published 1900About this map
The Upper Chesapeake Bay at the turn of the century is defined by its deep reliance on water transport and rail access. Along the eastern shore in Kent County, the town of Betterton serves as a prominent landing point near the mouth of the Sassafras River, while numerous small wharves like Harris Wharf and Gales Whf. line the rugged estuaries of Stillpond Creek and Worton Creek. These maritime hubs provided essential links for the inland farming communities of Stillpond, Lynch, and Hanesville, connecting them to the larger trade networks of the bay.
