About this map

Stevensville and Chester anchor the northern landscape of this island interior, where the dual corridors of 50 301 bridge the bay and connect these historic communities to the Kent Island Narrows. The map reveals a dense network of residential developments and historic local hubs, including Matapeake, Dominion, and Romancoke, alongside essential community landmarks such as Christ Lutheran Church and the Union Wesley Methodist Church Cem.

The coastal geography is defined by intricate inlets and necks, from Cox Creek and Crab Alley Bay to the southern tip at Turkey Point. Maritime and aviation infrastructure is prominent, with the Bay Bridge Airport and Kentmorr Airpark serving the region. Numerous small islands like Bodkin Island and Johnson Island dot the surrounding waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Eastern Bay, illustrating the complex shoreline that has shaped the settlement patterns of Kent Island for generations.
