About this map

Kent Island anchors this coastal survey, showing the northern reaches of the island where it tapers into the Chesapeake Bay. The prominent landmark of Love Point marks the northernmost tip, a location defined by its proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway. The landscape reflects a mix of established community life and nautical history, centered around the settlement of Stevensville and the residential expansion in Cloverfields.

A network of local roads and family-named lanes, such as John Kallis Ln and Mylander Ln, provides a look at the modern parceling of this storied Maryland peninsula. The presence of Old Steamship Rd serves as a reminder of the era when Chesapeake steamers were the primary link between these island communities and the mainland. This 2017 edition preserves the contemporary footprint of these historical sites before further shoreline or development changes occur.
