About this map

Kent Island's intricate shoreline and developed interior are meticulously detailed in this early 21st-century record. The area is anchored by the community of Stevensville, where historic landmarks like Christ Church and its accompanying Christ Church Cemetery sit alongside modern infrastructure. The William Preston Lane Junior Memorial Bridge connects the island to the mainland, while the maritime character is emphasized by numerous docks and marinas, such as the Bay Bridge Marina and Romancoke Pier.

The landscape is a patchwork of established neighborhoods and agricultural tracts, from the northern estates of Cloverfields to the southern tip at Romancoke. Waterways such as Cox Creek and Crab Alley Bay carve deep into the landmass, creating distinct necks and points like Batts Neck and Turkey Point. The map provides a clear look at the island's transition as it balances its colonial-era roots, seen in sites like Wesley Cemetery, with the expansion of residential developments like Baldwin Acres and Marling Farms.
