USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Rock Hall and its surrounding Chesapeake tidewater landscape are documented here as they appeared in the early 1950s. This survey highlights the deep maritime connections of Kent County, tracing the intricate shoreline from the Chesapeake Bay bluffs at Tolchester Beach to the sheltered waters of Rock Hall Harbor. The map reveals a rural economy centered on small crossroads settlements like Edesville, Fairlee, and Georgetown, while the extensive network of tidal inlets such as West Fork Langford Creek and Fairlee Creek underscores the historical importance of water-based transport and fishing.
