About this map

The waters of the Chesapeake Bay and the Elk River define this peninsula in the late 1950s, a landscape shaped by narrow necks of land and quiet inlets. Coastal settlements like Crystal Beach and West View Shores sit along the western banks, while the interior is anchored by the communities of Earleville and Cecilton. The geography is characterized by prominent ridges such as Pearce Neck and Veazey Neck, which separate the various creeks feeding into the Sassafras River and Bohemia River. Local history is visible through scattered landmarks including St Stephens Ch, St Pauls Ch, and the Veazey Cem. In the north, Elk Neck State Park and Camp Chesapeake represent the recreational use of the shorelines, while the Project Depth 26 Feet 1957 label on the Elk River indicates the vital shipping lanes maintained during this era.
