About this map

Chesapeake Bay dominates the western half of this maritime survey, illustrating the complex shoreline of Kent County during the early 1940s. The landward side is defined by the settlements of Edesville No 5 and Fairlee No 6, with the community of Gratitude situated near the southern tip. Coastal features like Tavern Creek and Swan Creek provide a look at the sheltered waterways used by local watermen.
