About this map

Galesville and the neighboring community of Shady Side define the maritime character of this Chesapeake landscape. Located on the western shore, the area is intricately carved by South Creek and West River, creating a complex network of points and coves such as Whitestake Point and Deadwood Cove. The settlement pattern reveals a mix of older landholdings like Sudleys Choice and West River Plantation alongside mid-century residential developments like Avalon Shores and Galesville Estates.

Away from the water, the terrain rises toward Lothian and Harwood, where the geography is marked by named hollows and knolls. Local history is anchored by several small burial sites, including Chews Cem near Chapel Knoll and Saint Marks Cem. Transportation and utility infrastructure are represented by the Deale Airport and the prominent transmission lines that cut through Sudley and Traceys Meadows, reflecting the modernization of this coastal Anne Arundel County corridor.
