1942 Map of Queenstown

About this map

The Wye River and Chester River carve deep, tidal inlets into this Chesapeake Bay landscape, defining the layout of rural Queenstown and Grasonville. In the early 1940s, the region's movement was dictated by these waterways and the Baltimore and Eastern RR Grade, which runs parallel to the northern shorelines. The map documents the historical footprint of small bayside communities like Bryantown and Carmichael, alongside significant local landmarks such as St Peters Ch and Wye Ch.
