1953 Map of Galena

About this map

The Sassafras River and its intricate network of tidal creeks define this Northern Kent County landscape, where the colonial-era geography of Shrewsbury Neck and Shellcross Neck meets mid-century agricultural development. The settlement at Galena serves as a central crossroads, while river-oriented communities like Kentmore Park and Fredericktown line the northern shores. This 1953 revision, based on surveys dating back to the late 1930s, reveals a rural fabric anchored by local institutions such as Shrewsbury Ch and Wesley Ch.
