1942 Map of Kent Island

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Kent Island is defined by its intricate network of tidal creeks and fingers of land reaching into the Chesapeake Bay. The 1942 topography reveals a largely rural landscape punctuated by small communities like Stevensville and Chester. Transportation across the bay is anchored by the William Preston Lane Jr Memorial Bridge, which connects the island to the mainland.

Genealogists and local historians can locate early centers of community life, including Wesley Ch, Kingsley Ch, and the Batts Neck Sch. Along the southern reaches, the settlements of Mattapex and Romancoke sit near the waters of Eastern Bay, while the eastern side of the island is deeply indented by Cox Creek and Crab Alley Creek. The map documents a moment before extensive modern development, showing the original relationship between the island's many points, such as Turkey Point and Narrow Pt, and the surrounding estuarine environment.
