About this map

The town of North East serves as the focal point of this coastal Maryland landscape, situated where North East Creek meets the head of the North East River. The 2014 terrain is defined by a series of points and coves along the water, including Hance Point and Sandy Cove, illustrating a pattern of development that follows the jagged shoreline. Further south, the map details the residential pockets of the Elk Neck peninsula, featuring Joy Haven and the Villages of Elk Neck.

Transportation corridors like the Pulaski Hwy and the Intracoastal Waterway reveal the area's dual role as a transit hub and a maritime community. From the elevation of Rhodes Mtn to the waterfront at Charlestown, the map captures a mix of established neighborhoods and conservation areas. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, such as Memorial Cem and Elk Neck Cem, while the Town Commons reflects the civic layout of the historic port.
