About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the maritime boundaries of Anne Arundel, Queen Anne's, and Talbot counties meet in the open water. Along the western shore, the residential patterns of Shady Side and Columbia Beach reveal a landscape of dense peninsula settlements separated by small tidal inlets. Notable landmarks like Curtis Point and Franklin Point define the jagged shoreline, while sheltered waters at Felicity Cove and Jack Creek highlight the area's protected nautical character.

On the eastern side of the bay, the map captures the narrow fingers of land at Kent Island, featuring Kent Point Manor and Kent Point Farm. The presence of the Intracoastal Waterway through the center of the bay underscores the region's importance as a commercial and recreational thoroughfare. Further south, the isolated form of Poplar Island sits near Valliant, illustrating the shifting geography of the bay's islands.
