2014 Map of Spesutie

About this map

Spesutie Island and the surrounding upper Chesapeake Bay define this coastal landscape, where Harford, Cecil, and Kent counties meet in the water. The island itself is marked by distinctive points like Woodpecker Point and Mulberry Point, separated from the mainland by the Spesutie Narrows. On the eastern shore in Cecil County, residential developments such as Chesapeake Haven, Cheshaven, and Hazelmoor sit atop Grove Neck, overlooking the bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. The presence of the Grove Point Disposal Area Lake and various marshy inlets like Mosquito Creek and Back Creek indicates a complex shoreline managed for both environmental preservation and maritime transit. Small settlements like Spesutie provide land-side context near the Spesutie Island Bridge, reflecting the region's long-standing connection to the Chesapeake's tidal reaches.
