1942 Map of Kent Island

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Stevensville and Chester anchor the northern landscape of Kent Island in this 1942 survey, reflecting a maritime community deeply connected to the mainland via the Baltimore and Eastern RR and the Annapolis Ferry. The map captures a detailed snapshot of the island's mid-century infrastructure, where small settlements like Dominion and Matapeake are linked by rural roads and coastal commerce. The interior and shorelines are dotted with community landmarks, including Wesley Ch, Kingsley Ch, and the Batts Neck Sch. Deep tidal inlets such as Cox Creek and Crab Alley Creek carve into the land, defining the agricultural and fishing reaches of Batts Neck. This survey preserves the island’s geography before the completion of the first Chesapeake Bay Bridge altered its traditional transit patterns, documenting the vital roles of points like Romancoke and the Claiborne Ferry.
