About this map

The Patuxent River bisects this landscape, serving as a defining geographical corridor for riverfront landings and historic points along the water. The western bank is characterized by the community of Aquasco, where the Aquasco Post Office and Aquasco Speedway sit near several significant burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cemetery and Christ Church Cemetery. Further south, the map details the waterfront town of Benedict and the nearby Maxwell Hall, reflecting the region's deep-rooted colonial and maritime heritage.

Numerous landings such as Deep Landing, Swanson Creek Landing, and Wild Goose Landing underscore the historical reliance on the river for transport and trade. The eastern shore features distinct landforms like Holland Cliff and Fiddlers Point, alongside smaller residential developments such as Woodland Acres and Huntingfields Manor. This survey captures the rural character and river-dependent layout of these Southern Maryland communities in the early 21st century.
