About this map

Mattawoman Creek and Piscataway Creek define the drainage of this Prince George's County landscape, which by the early 21st century displays a dense network of residential subdivisions and institutional grounds. The area around Cheltenham is particularly distinctive, home to the NOS Magnetic Observatory, the Boys Village of Maryland, and the Cheltenham Veterans Cemetery. These large footprints contrast with the smaller residential enclaves such as Clinton Acres and Heatherwick.

Further south, the transition into more rural terrain is marked by the Zekiah Swamp Run and the quiet presence of Cedarville Pond. Historically significant sites, including the Church of the Atonement and several local burying grounds like Saint Pauls Cemetery and Saint Thomas Cemetery, provide touchstones for genealogists tracing long-standing community roots. The settlement at Brandywine serves as a central hub, surrounded by newer developments like Brandywine Heights and The Village.
