About this map

The Patuxent River winds through the heart of this landscape, serving as the boundary between Prince George’s and Anne Arundel counties. In the late 1950s, the area around Upper Marlboro shows a transition from traditional rural patterns to modern recreational and industrial uses, featuring the Marlboro Speedway, the Marlboro Hunt Club, and Sand and Gravel Pits near the river. Along the water's edge, historic points like Mt Calvert and Jug Bay anchor the topography, while the Conrail line and several landings, including Bristol Landing and Jackson Landing, highlight the river's long-standing role in local commerce. The map also captures numerous rural congregations and communities such as Bayard, Darnall, and Pindell, each centered around local landmarks like Adams Ch or Wesley Chapel.
