About this map

The Patuxent River defines this portion of Southern Maryland, serving as the border between Prince George's and Calvert Counties. On the western bank, the town of Aquasco sits near several historic faith-based sites, including the Saint Marys Episcopal Chapel and Saint Dominic, each with an associated cemetery. Further south, the map reveals the layout of Eagle Harbor and the riverfront at Chalk Point, an area dominated by energy infrastructure and coastal landings.

Across the river, Holland Cliff Shores and Buena Vista mark the Calvert County coastline, where numerous points and coves like Abington Cove and Gods Grace Point indicate a landscape deeply tied to the water. The southern portion of the map centers on Benedict, where the bridge crosses the Patuxent, connecting the small settlements of Loves and Burch. This map provides a detailed look at the rural road networks and numerous small tributaries, such as Summerville Cr and Swanson Cr, that feed the primary river system.
