2014 Map of Elkton

About this map

Elkton serves as the focal point of this 2014 survey, illustrating the convergence of major Maryland thoroughfares and the historic Big Elk Creek. The landscape transition from the town's grid to the suburban developments of Windsor Village and Elkwood Estates highlights modern growth patterns near the Delaware state line. Further south, the map documents the engineering of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and the Intracoastal Waterway, where Chesapeake City straddles the narrow strip of land between the canal and the Back Creek basin. These waterways represent critical maritime infrastructure connecting the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Genealogists and local historians can locate several historic burial grounds, including Elkton Cem, Gilpin Cem, and Bethel Cem, alongside transportation landmarks like the Cecil County Airport and the network of roads branching off W Pulaski Hwy.
