1944 Map of Bristol
USGS Topo · Published 1944About this map
The Patuxent River defines the landscape of this 1940s survey, serving as the boundary between Prince Georges and Anne Arundel counties. The wetlands and meandering channels of the river are flanked by several small agricultural and rural centers including Bristol, Leeland, and Greenock. The presence of the Chesapeake Beach RR and the Crain Highway indicates a region transitioning through early-20th-century transportation shifts. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Adams Church and St Lukes Chapel to the Bristol Sch and Brookridge School. One notable site is the Abandoned Airport near the confluence with Lyons Creek, suggesting a brief moment of early aviation history in the area. The map also detail various districts such as Queen Anne District No 7 and District No 8.
