About this map

Elkton Landing serves as a focal point for this 1942 survey, where the confluence of local commerce and complex hydrology defines the Cecil County landscape. The importance of maritime and rail transit is evident in the path of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal and the tracks of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, which linked these rural communities to the broader Mid-Atlantic corridor. The terrain transitions from the tidal reaches of the Northeast River and Back Creek to the rolling hills of the Nottingham and London Britain districts.
