About this map

The western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Anne Arundel County reveals a deeply indented coastline where tidal marshes and numerous points define the landscape. This 2019 survey captures the developed waterfront and rural interior of the West River region, featuring established maritime communities like Galesville and Shady Side. The map shows a clear distinction between the agricultural and residential uplands near Lothian and the dense concentration of bayside settlements such as Deale, Columbia Beach, and Franklin Manor-on-the-Bay.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the well-documented burial sites, including the Chews Memorial United Methodist Church Cem and the Saint Mark's Chapel of Saint James Parish Cem. The map traces the winding course of Muddy Creek and its associated Muddy Creek Marsh, alongside specialized transport infrastructure like the Deale Airport and the historic crossroads at Tracys Landing.
