2014 Map of Hanesville

About this map

The eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Kent County defines this coastal landscape, characterized by a complex network of peninsulas and tidal inlets. Near Fairlee Neck, the small settlements of Great Oak Landing and Buck Neck Landing indicate a long-standing orientation toward the water, with the Intracostal Waterway cutting through the western bay waters. The area maintains a rural, maritime character where small residential clusters like Hanesville and Millbrook are interspersed with historical sites such as Saint James Cem. Navigational features are prominent, including the Worton Channel and landmarks like Worton Point and Abbey Point. Further inland, the map captures the transition to agricultural and residential life near Newtown and Melitota, while the Pond View Private Airport serves as a modern touchpoint in this historically water-dependent region.
