A real, direct Chesapeake Bay tidal flood risk
Elkton sits at the head of the Elk River, a real tidal tributary of the Chesapeake Bay -- real, current FEMA flood-zone designations (including Zone AE and Zone VE) reflect genuine storm-surge exposure from systems tracking toward Maryland's coast, aligning Elkton with the state's broader Bay-and-Atlantic coastal flooding hazard story.
