About this map

The Patuxent River bisects this landscape, serving as a historic divider between Prince George's and Anne Arundel counties. Along its banks, traditional landings like Iron Pot Landing, Bristol Landing, and Green Landing reflect a long history of riverine transport and commerce. The western edge is defined by the proximity to Upper Marlboro, while the interior transitions into a mosaic of residential developments such as Marlboro Meadows and agricultural estates including Portland Manor and Conte Manor.

Horse culture is prominently featured through the Vale of Pleasure Horse Farm and Marlboro Horse Farm, alongside recreation sites like the Marlboro Speedway and Twin Shields Golf Course. Significant landmarks such as Hunt Chapel and the site at Mount Calvert offer points of interest for local historians. The map also traces the winding courses of numerous tributaries, including Lyons Creek, Collington Branch, and Ferry Branch, illustrating the complex drainage system of the Maryland coastal plain.
