2011 Map of Queenstown

About this map

The intricate shoreline of the Chesapeake Bay's eastern reaches defines this landscape, where the Chester River meets the complex inlets of the Wye River and Prospect Bay. In this part of Queen Anne's County, maritime heritage is evident at Kent Island Narrows and Browns Landing, while the interior reflects a long history of land ownership through estates like East Prospect Plantation and the uniquely named My Lords Gift. The map documents established communities at Queenstown and Grasonville, both maintaining their own postal hubs. Institutional presence is noted at the University of Maryland - Wye Institute, situated near Cheston on the Wye. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource for locating family burial grounds, including Saint Peters Cemetery and several others such as Bryans Cemetery and Perrys Corner Cemetery, providing precise locations for these historical landmarks.
