About this map

The Patuxent River bisects this Maryland landscape, serving as a natural boundary for four counties including Prince George's and Calvert. Along its western banks, the small incorporated town of Eagle Harbor and the settlement of Cedarhaven occupy a prominent bend in the river. This mid-2010s survey reveals a dense network of local roads and family-named routes such as Doctor Bowen Rd and Eastview Farm Rd, indicating a transition from traditional agricultural land use to residential pockets.

Genealogists will find several significant burial grounds and houses of worship, notably Saint Marys Cem and Saint Marys Church near Aquasco. The river's influence on the local geography is evident in the numerous points and creeks, from Chalk Point to Gods Grace Point. Further inland, larger hubs like Hughesville and Baden anchor the corners of the sheet, while Robinson Airport provides a small aviation footprint amidst the winding tributaries of Swanson Cr and Stanley Run.
