The peninsula of Gunpowder Neck dominates this coastal survey, reaching into the Chesapeake Bay at the intersection of several county boundaries. The landscape is defined by its convoluted shoreline and numerous points, including Maxwell Point, Rickett Point, and Days Point. In the western portion of the map, residential growth is evident in communities like Harewood Park, Oliver Beach, and Bowleys Quarters. These settlements are situated along the inlets of Railroad Creek and Cunninghill Cove, reflecting a transition from the preserved marshy areas to suburban development.
