About this map

Chestertown serves as the focal point for this survey of the Eastern Shore, positioned along the winding Chester River at the boundary of Kent and Queen Anne's Counties. The town’s long-standing academic and civic foundations are visible through Washington Coll and the centrally located Chestertown Cem. The surrounding landscape is defined by its relationship with the water, characterized by numerous points and necks such as Wilmer Neck, Skillet Point, and Fryingpan Point.

Rural aviation and maritime activity shape the outskirts, with local strips like Hybarc Farm Airport and Kennersley Airport supporting the region's agricultural and private transit needs. Older landings and settlements like Quaker Neck Landing and Rolphs reflect the historical importance of the river for transport. Inland, the map documents late-twentieth-century residential growth in developments such as Foxley Manor, Crestview, and Orchard Hill, illustrating the transition from open farmland to suburban neighborhoods.
