1953 Map of North East

About this map

North East serves as a central hub at the head of the Northeast River, where the Penn Central railroad and Pulaski Highway intersect this coastal Maryland landscape. The survey documents a mid-century period of recreation and conservation, showing the established boundaries of the Elk Neck State Forest and various youth retreats like Camp Rodney, Camp Chesapeake, and the Morning Cheer Camp. This area of Cecil County is characterized by its prominent peninsulas and points, including Hance Pt and Red Point, which define the northern reaches of the Chesapeake Bay.
