1953 Map of Blakiston Island

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Blakiston Island and its lighthouse stand as central landmarks in the Potomac River, bridging the maritime life of Maryland's Milestown Neck with the Virginia shoreline of Machodoc Neck. This mid-century survey captures a landscape of peninsulas and deep-water inlets, featuring the Proving Ground near Newtown and the agricultural reaches of Cople. Navigational aids like the Huggins Point Lt and Blakiston Island Shoal Lt highlight the importance of the river as a commercial artery.

On the southern shore in Westmoreland County, small settlements such as Murray and Hollis are situated near the intricate waterways of Nomini Bay and Currioman Bay. The detailed coastal topography reveals family-named features like Grapevine Barnes Pt and Payne Pt, while numerous benchmarks such as BM r259 provide specific elevation data for the low-lying coastal terrain. The boundary between Maryland and Virginia is clearly delineated across the wide river channel.
