2011 Map of Deale

About this map

The western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County reveals a landscape where deep-water maritime traditions meet rural crossroads. In this 2011 survey, the community of Deale serves as a central hub, flanked by waterfront developments like Franklin Manor-on-the-Bay and Avalon Shores. The map highlights the area's intricate coastline, defined by Rockhold Creek and the broad reach of the West River. Inland, the settlement pattern is anchored by historic sites such as Mount Zion and the West River Plantation, along with numerous family-named landmarks like Traceys Meadows and Warthen Knolls. This period shows a high density of local infrastructure, including multiple post offices from Lothian to Churchton, and specialized features like the Deale Airport and Hartges Boatyard, reflecting the dual nature of the region as both a quiet residential haven and a working waterfront.
