Elkton, the county seat of Cecil county, Maryland, is a town of 2542 inhabitants, built upon a red clay soil, rather flat as to surface, but sloping gently toward the Elk river. This small stream is not navigable, is but slightly influenced by the tides, and is only about 25 feet below the highest part of the town.
