About this map

The Chester River divides Kent and Queen Anne's counties in this mid-century portrait of Maryland's Eastern Shore. The landscape is defined by its deep cultural ties to the water, where numerous peninsulas—locally known as necks—reach into the Chesapeake Bay. Major landings and wharves such as Riverside Wharf and Buckingham Wharf suggest a period when the river served as a primary artery for commerce and travel before the total dominance of regional highways.
