About this map

The western shoreline of Chesapeake Bay dominates this survey, where residential developments like Idlewilde and Snug Harbor are positioned along the protected waters of Felicity Cove. The landscape is defined by its maritime orientation, with the Intracoastal Waterway and Chesapeake Channel serving as critical transit corridors through the center of the bay. On the Anne Arundel County shore, several distinct neighborhoods such as Cedarhurst and Columbia Beach occupy the narrow strips of land between the marshes and the open water. Notable coastal landmarks including Franklin Point and Horseshoe Point frame the entrance to Jack Creek and the adjacent Felicity Cove Marsh. Further east across the water, the northern tip of Poplar Island appears, marking a significant point where the boundaries of Anne Arundel, Queen Anne's, and Talbot Counties meet in the bay.
