About this map

The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and the Elk River dominate this mid-century look at Cecil County, where the industrial and maritime heritage of the region is clearly visible. The town of Elkton serves as a hub, showing early suburban developments like Elkton Heights and Hollingsworth Manor alongside established institutions such as the Union Hospital and George Washington Carver Sch. The map records a landscape in transition, where new infrastructure like the Drive-in Theater and Sewage Disposal plants appear near traditional sites like the Old Frenchtown Wharf and Elkton Landing.
