About this map

Elkton, the county seat of Cecil County, serves as the primary hub in this detailed survey of the Maryland-Delaware border region. The landscape is defined by the converging waters of Little Elk Creek, Big Elk Creek, and the Elk River, which lead southward toward the vital Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. This waterway remains a centerpiece of the local economy, anchored by the community of Chesapeake City and its Back Creek Mooring Basin.

Tracing the rural periphery reveals a network of historic sites, including the Saint Thomas African Union Methodist Protestant Church Cem near Glasgow. Regional connectivity is represented by the Mason Dixon Trl and major thoroughfares like the Pulaski Hwy. Educational and civic foundations are visible at the Cecil College Elkton Station and the Cecil County Courthouse, marking the area's continued role as a gateway between the two states.
