About this map

Chesapeake Landing and Hanesville anchor this 2011 perspective of the Kent County shoreline, where the intricate geography of the Eastern Shore meets the Chesapeake Bay. The map reveals a landscape defined by its relation to the water, from the maritime activity at Green Point Marina and Gales Wharf to the residential pockets of Worton Heights and Newtown. Agricultural roots remain visible in family-named properties like Churn Creek Farm and small crossroads such as Diehls Cross Roads.

Tracing the coastline from Worton Point down to Fairlee Neck, the sheet detail highlights numerous landings and inlets that have served this coastal community for generations. Inland, the presence of the Saint James Cemetery and the clustered settlements along Hanesville Road suggest established local histories, while the Great Oak Resort and Yacht Basin illustrates the area's contemporary role as a destination for bay navigation and leisure.
