2011 Map of North Beach

About this map

Fairhaven Cliffs and Hog Point define the eastern edge of this landscape where the Western Shore meets the Chesapeake Bay. The residential development patterns of the early twenty-first century are visible in the dense street grids of North Beach and Rose Haven, contrasted with the larger agricultural and rural holdings to the west such as Trent Hall Farms. Infrastructure for local commerce and community life is anchored by the Friendship Post Office and Owings Post Office, while the historic presence of All Saints Cemetery provides a touchstone for genealogical research. The map illustrates a transition from the structured maritime neighborhoods near Holland Point to the inland tracts of Amber Woode and Paris Oaks, linked by a network of drainage systems including Hall Creek and Fishing Creek.
