1977 Map of Hanesville

About this map

Aberdeen Proving Ground Military Reservation and the wide waters of the Chesapeake Bay define the western reaches of this 1970s-era coastal landscape. On the eastern shore, the rural character of Kent County is preserved through a network of tidewater necks and creeks. The community of Hanesville sits inland, surrounded by established estates and agricultural sites like Churn Creek Farm and Worton Point Orchard. Along the intricate shoreline of Worton Creek, small-scale maritime infrastructure is evident at Buck Neck Landing and Green Point Wharf, serving as vital connections between the farming interior and the bay.
