About this map

Kent Island anchors this coastal survey, where the northern tip of the landmass meets the wide expanse of the Chesapeake Bay. The northernmost point, known as Love Point, serves as a critical geographic marker where the Susquehanna River and the Intracoastal Waterway converge with the bay's main waters. This area reflects a long-standing maritime orientation, evidenced by the presence of Old Steamship Rd near the northern shore, suggesting the historical importance of waterborne transport and ferry connections to the mainland.

Residential patterns are concentrated in the south, with the established community of Stevensville and the neighborhood of Cloverfields situated along the banks of Cox Creek. The landscape is defined by its low-lying marshes and a dense network of local lanes like Grollman Rd and Old Love Point Rd that wind through the interior, illustrating the gradual suburban development of this Chesapeake landscape.
