About this map

The Sassafras River and Elk River define this peninsula in Cecil County, where the landscape is a patchwork of small settlements and coastal necks. The village of Earleville sits at the center of a road network connecting historic landings and agricultural estates like Mount Harmon. To the east, the town of Cecilton serves as a gateway to the region via the Augustine Herman Hwy. The shoreline is dotted with distinct communities such as White Crystal Beach, West View Shores, and Hexton Farms Airport, reflecting the area's long relationship with the water and local aviation.

Genealogists will find several notable burial sites, including Saint Stephens Cem and Veazey Cem, located near the ancestral lands of Veazey Neck. The mapping of the Intracoastal Waterway through the river channels highlights the ongoing importance of marine transit between the Chesapeake Bay and the Bohemia River. Other notable landmarks such as Cassidy Wharf and the Scotchmans Creek Bridge further ground the map in the localized geography of the Upper Eastern Shore.
