2019 Map of Charlotte Hall

About this map

Charlotte Hall serves as a central hub in this Southern Maryland landscape, where the boundary between Charles and St. Mary's counties follows the intricate drainage of Gilbert Swamp Run. The map documents a rural corridor transitioning between agricultural roots and preservation, notably marked by the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail as it winds through Thompson Corner and Ryceville. To the south, the terrain descends toward the Wicomico River at Luckton Point, fed by numerous named tributaries like Budds Creek and Indiantown Run. Local heritage is anchored by significant sites such as the Trinity Church Cemetery and John Wesley Cemetery, while smaller settlements like Newmarket and Coffee Hill illustrate the historic distribution of crossroads communities. The presence of Trinity Lake and various "ponds" and "runs" highlights the water-rich geography that has long shaped the region's development.
