1953 Map of Galena

About this map

The Sassafras River dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, defining the irregular border between Cecil and Kent counties. The shoreline is characterized by complex inlets like Woodland Creek and Turner Creek, interspersed with landings such as Shellcross Wharf. Inland, the economy of the Upper Eastern Shore is tied to the Pennsylvania railroad line, which connects agricultural hubs like Kennedyville and Lambson.
