About this map

Stevensville and Chester serve as the primary hubs on this map of Kent Island, situated where the William Preston Lane Junior Memorial Bridge connects the Eastern Shore to the mainland across the Chesapeake Bay. The 2014 survey reveals a landscape defined by dense residential growth and maritime access, with numerous waterfront communities such as Cloverfields, Bay City, and Matapeake Estates lining the indented shoreline.

Genealogical researchers will find several well-defined burial sites including Christ Church Cem and Wesley Cem near the northern corridor, alongside smaller locations like Eziah Cem further south. The map documents the island's aviation and maritime infrastructure, from Bay Bridge Airport to the intricate passages of Kent Island Narrows. Landmarks such as Batts Neck and Bentons Pleasure illustrate the naming conventions of the area's older plantations and tracts.
