About this map

Elkton serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated at the confluence of Little Elk Creek and Big Elk Creek. The town is surrounded by a dense network of residential developments such as Windsor Village, Hollingsworth Manor, and Buckhill Farms, illustrating the suburban growth of Cecil County. To the south, the landscape shifts toward the maritime and industrial corridors of the Elk River and Back Creek. This area is defined by its water management and conservation infrastructure, including the Elkton Wastewater Treatment facility and the Elkton Striped Bass Hatchery.

Maritime history is evident at the Old Frenchtown Wharf and several recreational hubs like Locust Point Marina and Cove Marina. The southern portion of the map highlights the proximity to Chesapeake City and the significant environmental engineering of the Emily Point Disposal Area Lake. Notable local landmarks range from the historic Bethel Cemetery to the Elk Neck Poultry Farm And Hatchery, documenting a diverse economy of agriculture, aviation at Raintree Airpark, and coastal services.
