1948 Map of Hanesville

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Chesapeake Bay dominates this mid-century survey, defining the irregular coastline of Kent County where agricultural land meets the water at numerous points and necks. Inland, the rural character of the region is centered on the small settlements of Hanesville, Newtown, and Melitota. The landscape is dotted with several houses of worship, including St Georges Church, St James Church, and Mt Pisgah Church, which serve as primary landmarks for local genealogy and settlement history.

Maritime activity is evident through features like Green Point Wharf and Buck Neck Landing along the many inlets such as Still Pond Creek and Fairlee Creek. The map also captures the edge of the Aberdeen Proving Ground and a dedicated Military Reservation across the water, illustrating the strategic importance of this stretch of the bay during the post-war era. Large estates and farms, such as Great Oak Manor and Churn Creek Farm, indicate the long-standing land-use patterns of the Eastern Shore.
