About this map

Kent Island's intricate shoreline and established communities are meticulously documented in this 2016 survey. The corridor of Us 50 and Us 301 serves as the primary artery across the island, crossing the William Preston Lane Junior Memorial Bridge and passing through the historic core of Stevensville. This area is rich with genealogical markers, including the Christ Church Cem, Wesley Cem, and Stevensville Cem, which anchor the local history of these Chesapeake settlements.

Aviation and maritime heritage are prominent, with the Bay Bridge Airport and Kentmorr Airpark serving the skies, while Castle Marina and numerous inlets like Thompson Creek and Crab Alley Bay define the water-centric life of the Eastern Shore. From the northern developments of Cloverfields to the southern tip at Romancoke on the Bay, the map reveals a landscape defined by residential growth and its deep connection to the Chesapeake Bay.
