1948 Map of Hanesville

About this map

The eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay reveals a landscape defined by deep tidal inlets and agricultural peninsulas in Kent County. Centered on the community of Hanesville, the region is partitioned into distinctive land masses like Stillpond Neck and Fairlee Neck. These necks are carved by water bodies such as Still Pond Creek and Worton Creek, which served as vital transport arteries for the local economy. Evidence of maritime commerce is found at Green Point Wharf and Buck Neck Landing, while the presence of St Georges Church and St James Church anchors the rural settlements of Newtown and Melitota.
