About this map

The William Preston Lane Junior Memorial Bridge anchors the northern reach of this 2019 survey, connecting the mainland to the thriving communities of Kent Island. The historic core of Stevensville and Chester serves as the island's primary population center, characterized by a dense network of residential developments like Cloverfields and Harborview. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history at the Christ Lutheran Church Cem, Union Wesley Methodist Church Cem, and the Ezion Methodist Episcopal Cem.

The landscape is defined by its intricate shoreline, where Cox Creek, Crab Alley Bay, and Piney Creek carve deep into the landmass. To the south, more dispersed settlements such as Mattapex and Romancoke lead toward Turkey Point, while small airfields like Bay Bridge Airport and Kentmorr Airpark highlight the island's modern accessibility. The map also records numerous smaller islands and points, including Johnson Island and Bodkin Island, illustrating the complex coastal geography of Queen Anne's Co.
