About this map

The Kent County coastline along the Chesapeake Bay reveals a landscape defined by deeply indented tidal creeks and historic waterfront settlements. Rock Hall serves as a primary hub in the south, anchored by the Rock Hall Harbor and the neighborhood of Hidden Acres. Moving inland, the map captures a network of rural crossroads and established estates such as Langford and Fairlee, where agricultural heritage is preserved in landmarks like Remington Farms.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and church-affiliated burial grounds, including Wesley Chapel Cem, Asbury Cem, and the grounds of Saint Pauls Church. The maritime character of the region is evident in the numerous landings and points, from Shipyard Landing on Shipyard Creek to the shoreline at Mitchell Bluff. This 2014 survey documents the persistence of traditional land use patterns, where small airfields like Breezecroft Airport and historic sites like Caulks Field coexist with modern residential developments.
