About this map

The North East riverfront serves as a primary focus of this Cecil County survey, where the town itself sits at the head of the North East River near the junction of Little North East Creek and Stony Run. The landscape transitions from the residential clusters of Charlestown and Northeast Heights to the wooded elevations of the peninsula, marked by summits such as Bull Mtn and Rhodes Mtn. The CSX railroad corridor cuts across the northern reaches, connecting the community of Leslie with Bacon Hill.

Evidence of the region's maritime and community character is found in the varied points and coves along the shoreline, including Seneca Point and Sandy Cove. Toward the south, the terrain narrows into Elk Neck, bounded by the Elk River and the busy Intracoastal Waterway. This area preserves local genealogy markers through sites like Wesley Church and the Elk Neck Cem, while documenting the recreational and residential footprints at Hollywood Beach and Port Herman.
