About this map

The Kenton quadrangle along the Maryland Delaware border is defined by a network of historic rural crossroads and agricultural land. In the early 1990s, these small settlements, including Underwood Corner, Everetts Corner, and Wrights Crossroads, maintained a pattern of life centered on country churches like Kenton Ch and the historic Bryn Zion Cem. Water systems dominate the northern reaches, where the Leipsic River flows from Masseys Millpond and a Gaging Station monitors the local hydrology.

South of the Blackiston Wildlife Area, the landscape is dotted with family-named landmarks and local institutions, such as Green Hill Sch and the Flying C Airport. The town of Hartly serves as a local hub near Slaughter and Bethesda, illustrating the slow evolution of western Kent County from purely agrarian roots to include modern developments like the Forest Grove Village Mobile Home Park while preserving traditional sites like St Johns Holy Ch.
