About this map

Chestertown and its surrounding riverine landscape are defined by the winding course of the Chester River, which separates the Kent County shoreline from the neighboring lands of Queen Anne's County. This 2011 survey captures a mix of residential expansion and maritime infrastructure, with suburban developments like Chesmar, Washington Park, and Heather Heights situated near the historic core. The waterfront is characterized by numerous points and reaches, such as Devils Reach and Fryingpan Point, alongside a series of historic landing sites including Roundtop Wharf, Newmans Wharf, and Riverside Wharf.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the placement of the Chestertown Cemetery, James Cemetery, and Bond Chapel Cemetery. The rural economy and transportation network are evident through the presence of private airstrips like Kennersley Airport and Silver Hill Airport, as well as recreational landmarks such as Camp Pecometh and the Schottland Tennis Pavilion. The map traces the intricate drainage of Morgan Creek and Southeast Creek, illustrating how the Chesapeake Bay's tidal tributaries shaped the region's development.
