1942 Map of Kent Island

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Kent Island is defined by its intricate network of tidal creeks and its role as a transportation hub for the Chesapeake Bay during the early 1940s. Centered on the hubs of Stevensville and Chester, the landscape reveals a maritime economy tied to both the water and the Baltimore and Eastern RR. Small inland settlements and landings like Dominion and Mattapex are linked by rural roads that trace the contours of Batts Neck and Cox Creek. The infrastructure of the era is remarkably visible, featuring the Annapolis Ferry and Claiborne Ferry routes before the completion of modern bridge spans. Local social centers are anchored by landmarks such as Wesley Ch, Kingsley Ch, and the Batts Neck Sch, providing a clear view of the island's community structure before mid-century development transformed the Eastern Shore.
