About this map

The Sassafras River forms the northern boundary of this landscape, separating the Kent and Cecil county lines where Fredericktown and Georgetown face one another across the water. This 2017 survey details the crossroads communities and agricultural heritage of northern Kent County, tracing a network of local roads such as Locust Grove Rd and Kennedyville Rd that connect rural hubs like Locust Grove and Kennedyville.

Genealogists can identify several historic burial grounds, including the Shrewsbury Cem near Shrewsbury Neck and the Wesley Cem further east. The map captures the quiet transition from the riverfront bluffs at Kentmore Park to the interior woods of the Chesterville Forest. Notable landmarks such as the Krastel Farms Airport and the coastal features like Ordinary Point and Ponds Bar highlight the intersection of land and water that defines the Upper Eastern Shore's geography.
