About this map

Charlotte Hall Military Academy serves as a prominent landmark in this mid-century survey of the Charles and St. Marys county border. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and small rural settlements connected by winding roads. To the south, the broad Wicomico River meets the shore at Luckton Point and Luckton Landing, hinting at the area's river-based history.

Genealogists and local historians will find numerous community hubs, including St Pauls Ch, Mt Calvary Ch, and Bethel Cemetery. The map documents the distribution of rural education through sites like the White Marsh School and Red Gate School. From the crossroads of Newmarket to the scattered homes at Dubois and Denton, the map records the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of Southern Maryland before modern suburban expansion.
